Physician Salary in Portugal

Physician pay in Portugal: Lisbon leads, Porto trails

The Portugal national median for a physician is 81 100 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 52 000 € in Porto to 59 100 € in Lisbon (1.1×).

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 51 900 €–116 800 € 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 Portuguese city.

Lisbon sits -27% vs the national median; Porto sits -36%. 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.

Portugal shows about 2.3% CPI in 2025. A physician raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers.
