It is difficult to caompare both salary Wise since both have different field of work.
After Doing CPA you are more in the field of accounting and auditing. However after CFA, you field will be much better in finance and investment banking or portfolio management.
Also, CFA is long term course with minimum of 3 yrs whereaa, CPA depends upon your preparation and can be done in less than 1 year.
Also, because of many otehr differences, like After CPA you can practice also but only in US, however after CFA you can't practice but you can do service ort consultancy.
Its very difficult to clearly cut mark the salary difference, but surely being CFA a long term and has more international recognition and acceptance , it has more value.

If your going with salary wise then CFA will make good, its has world wide scope so that you can work any where only if your interested in finance field, if your interested in accounts filed then go for CPA but CFA is the best in salary wise and scope wise...
