Plumber Salary in Portugal

Plumber pay in Portugal: Lisbon leads, Porto trails

The Portugal national median for a plumber is 46 900 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 31 000 € in Porto to 33 800 € in Lisbon (1.1×).

Plumbers install and repair piping, fixtures, and water systems. Common screening skills include Piping, Fixtures, Code, and Troubleshooting.

A modeled national band runs about 32 100 €–65 000 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +6% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Portuguese city.

Lisbon sits -28% vs the national median; Porto sits -34%. 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 plumber 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 skilled trades titles on this site include Electrician, Carpenter, Chef, and Welder.
