Carpenter Salary in Portugal

Carpenter pay in Portugal: Lisbon leads, Porto trails

The Portugal national median for a carpenter is 40 100 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 25 400 € in Porto to 29 400 € in Lisbon (1.2×).

Carpenters build and repair structures and fixtures from wood and other materials. Common screening skills include Framing, Finishing, Blueprints, and Tools.

A modeled national band runs about 27 500 €–55 500 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +4% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Portuguese city.

Lisbon sits -27% vs the national median; Porto sits -37%. Relocating inside Portugal 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.
