  • Wall Street Bonuses Reach Record $49.2 Billion in 2025 Amid Profit Surge
    March 26, 2026, 5:39 AM EDT. Wall Street's securities industry bonus pool hit a record $49.2 billion in 2025, rising 9% from 2024, while average bonuses grew 6% to $246,900, driven by a record $65.1 billion in pre-tax profits, according to New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli. Despite strong gains fueled by trading, underwriting, and asset management, inflation-adjusted bonuses still lag behind their 2006 peak. The industry remains a critical part of New York's economy, accounting for 20.2% of city economic activity and nearly 20% of state tax revenue. However, job growth slowed with headcount falling to 198,200, and rising geopolitical risks cast doubt on 2026's outlook, making state and city revenue projections appear overly optimistic.
