Psychiatrist Salary in Spain

Psychiatrist pay in Spain: Barcelona leads, Madrid trails

The Spain national median for a psychiatrist is 255.000 € a year. Among 2 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 177.000 € in Madrid to 181.000 € in Barcelona (1×).

Psychiatrists diagnose and treat mental health conditions through therapy and medication. Common screening skills include Diagnosis, Prescribing, Therapy, and Empathy.

A modeled national band runs about 174.700 €–353.200 € around that midpoint. Licensing and immigration rules are independent of this cash sort. Employment outlook for the occupation is sketched at +8% over a decade — a national demand guess, not a hiring guarantee in every Spanish city.

Barcelona sits -29% vs the national median; Madrid sits -31%. 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 psychiatrist 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, Physician, and Pharmacist.
