Physician pay in Singapore: Singapore leads, Singapore trails

The Singapore national median for a physician is $181,000 a year. Among 1 metros with observed data, pay runs from about $127,000 in Singapore to $127,000 in Singapore (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 $115,800–$260,600 around that midpoint. Employment Pass criteria and COMPASS scoring 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 Singaporean city.

When metro percentiles appear, prefer those over this national midpoint for a named city. Until then, treat $181,000 as a country-level sketch and pressure-test any offer with tax and cost-of-living tools.

Singapore shows about 0.9% 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.
