Electrician in France: read the median against a +11% outlook

The France national median for a electrician is 82 700 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 41 100 € in Lyon to 62 000 € in Paris (1.5×).

Electricians install, maintain, and repair electrical systems in homes and businesses. Common screening skills include Wiring, Code, Troubleshooting, and Safety.

A modeled national band runs about 56 600 €–114 500 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +11% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every French city.

Paris sits -25% vs the national median; Lyon sits -50%. Relocating inside France for this title can move cash more than a small raise at the same desk. Open a city page for take-home and rent context — this national page is the map, not the offer.

France shows about 0.9% CPI in 2025. A electrician 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 Plumber, Carpenter, Chef, and Welder.
