Welder pay in Finland: Helsinki leads, Helsinki trails

The Finland national median for a welder is 59 300 € a year. Among 1 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 41 500 € in Helsinki to 41 500 € in Helsinki (1×).

Welders join metal parts using heat for construction, manufacturing, and repair. Common screening skills include MIG/TIG, Blueprints, Safety, and Fabrication.

A modeled national band runs about 42 200 €–80 200 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +3% 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 59 300 € 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 welder 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 skilled trades titles on this site include Electrician, Plumber, Carpenter, and Chef.
