Registered Nurse pay in Finland: Helsinki leads, Helsinki trails

The Finland national median for a registered nurse is 68 400 € a year. Among 1 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 47 900 € in Helsinki to 47 900 € in Helsinki (1×).

Registered nurses provide and coordinate patient care across clinics, hospitals, and community settings. Common screening skills include Patient care, Clinical assessment, EMR, and Empathy.

A modeled national band runs about 49 900 €–91 000 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +6% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Finnish city.

When metro percentiles appear, prefer those over this national midpoint for a named city. Until then, treat 68 400 € as a country-level sketch and pressure-test any offer with tax and cost-of-living tools.

Finland shows about 0.3% CPI in 2025. A registered nurse raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers. This occupation is also covered in 39 other countries — useful for remote or relocation shortlists, after FX and local tax. Nearby healthcare titles on this site include Nurse Practitioner, Physician, Pharmacist, and Physical Therapist.
