Helsinki salaries sit ~30% below the Finland average
Helsinki, FI lists 75 careers with observed metro percentiles in EUR. Pay index 0.70 (30% below national); COL 100 vs a US baseline of 100.
Radiologist leads this Helsinki table at 232 000 € a year, with Surgeon at 226 000 € and Psychiatrist at 200 000 €. The midpoint of the listed set is Civil Engineer at 74 100 € — a better “typical covered career here” than row #1 alone. Top-of-list mix: 4 healthcare, 3 technology, and 2 legal.
Population in the dataset is about 658,864. Larger labour markets usually support wider industry mix; smaller ones can look “high paying” on one clinical or tech title and thin everywhere else. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort.
Finland shows about 0.3% CPI in 2025. Open a role’s Helsinki salary page for p10–p90, take-home, and rent models — this hub is the directory. Missing careers may still have a national Finland page even when this metro lacks observed percentiles.
Reading pay and COL together in Helsinki
Use pay index (0.70) for wage level vs Finland, and COL (100) for prices. High on both is not the same as high real leftover.
Figures are observed metro medians where listed, in EUR, gross. They are market estimates — not a promise from any one employer.
What tops the Helsinki cash list
