Surgeon Salary in Portugal

Surgeon pay in Portugal: Lisbon leads, Porto trails

The Portugal national median for a surgeon is 212 000 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 132 000 € in Porto to 156 000 € in Lisbon (1.2×).

Surgeons perform operations to treat injuries, diseases, and deformities. Common screening skills include Surgery, Anatomy, Clinical judgment, and Precision.

A modeled national band runs about 135 700 €–305 300 € 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 -26% vs the national median; Porto sits -38%. 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 surgeon raise that trails inflation is a real-pay cut even if it still beats last year’s peers.
