Physician Salary in Spain

Physician pay in Spain: Madrid leads, Barcelona trails

The Spain national median for a physician is 124.000 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 84.500 € in Barcelona to 87.500 € in Madrid (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 79.400 €–178.600 € 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 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 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.
