HR Manager pay in Spain: Madrid leads, Barcelona trails

The Spain national median for a hr manager is 86.600 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 58.200 € in Barcelona to 61.800 € in Madrid (1.1×).

HR managers lead hiring, culture, benefits, and employee relations. Common screening skills include Recruiting, Policy, Benefits, and Compliance.

A modeled national band runs about 57.000 €–122.800 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +5% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Spanish city.

Madrid sits -29% vs the national median; Barcelona sits -33%. 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.
