Carpenter pay in Spain: Madrid leads, Barcelona trails

The Spain national median for a carpenter is 55.100 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 37.400 € in Barcelona to 39.100 € in Madrid (1×).

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 37.700 €–76.300 € 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 Spanish city.

Madrid sits -29% vs the national median; Barcelona sits -32%. Relocating inside Spain 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.

Spain shows about 2.7% CPI in 2025. A carpenter 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, Plumber, Chef, and Welder.
