Veterinarian in Finland: read the median against a +19% outlook

The Finland national median for a veterinarian is 127 000 € a year. Among 1 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 88 600 € in Helsinki to 88 600 € in Helsinki (1×).

A modeled national band runs about 89 300 €–173 100 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +19% 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 127 000 € 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 veterinarian 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 Registered Nurse, Nurse Practitioner, Physician, and Pharmacist.
