This is in comparison to the highest aligned planner percentage of 28 per cent in the $70,000-$89,999 bracket.
The data also showed that one non-aligned respondent claimed to receive $500,000 a year, whereas the highest pay packet for an aligned respondent was $300-000-$499,999.
Overall, female financial planners were earning less than their male counterparts with almost two-thirds earning less than $110,000, and 43 per cent saying they earned less than $90,000.
Only 28 per cent of male financial planners said they earned less than $90,000, with the highest percentage of male planners (22 per cent) reporting they earned $90,000 - $109,999.
The data found the highest number of female planners (25 per cent) said they took home $70,000 - $89,999 a year.
