Pharmacist Salary in Netherlands

Pharmacist pay in Netherlands: Amsterdam leads, Rotterdam trails

The Netherlands national median for a pharmacist is € 206.000 a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about € 137.000 in Rotterdam to € 156.000 in Amsterdam (1.1×).

Pharmacists dispense medication and advise patients and providers on safe, effective use. Common screening skills include Pharmacology, Patient counseling, Compliance, and Attention.

A modeled national band runs about € 159.700–€ 262.700 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 Dutch city.

Amsterdam sits -24% vs the national median; Rotterdam sits -33%. Relocating inside Netherlands 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.

Netherlands shows about 3.3% CPI in 2025. A pharmacist raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers.
