Physician Salary in Poland

Physician pay in Poland: Warsaw leads, Kraków trails

The Poland national median for a physician is 407 000 zł a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 257 000 zł in Kraków to 299 000 zł in Warsaw (1.2×).

Physicians diagnose and treat illness, drawing on years of medical training and specialization. Common screening skills include Diagnosis, Treatment, Clinical judgment, and Ethics.

A modeled national band runs about 260 500 zł–586 100 zł 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 Polish city.

Warsaw sits -27% vs the national median; Kraków sits -37%. Relocating inside Poland 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.

Poland shows about 3.8% CPI in 2025. A physician 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, Pharmacist, and Physical Therapist.
