Occupational Therapist in Italy: read the median against a +12% outlook

The Italy national median for a occupational therapist is 87.900 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 56.200 € in Rome to 70.500 € in Milan (1.3×).

Occupational therapists help patients regain skills for daily living and work after injury or illness. Common screening skills include Rehabilitation, Assessment, Planning, and Empathy.

A modeled national band runs about 65.700 €–115.000 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +12% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Italian city.

Milan sits -20% vs the national median; Rome sits -36%. Relocating inside Italy 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.

Italy shows about 1.5% CPI in 2025. A occupational therapist 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.
