Physician Salary in Sweden

Physician pay in Sweden: Stockholm leads, Stockholm trails

The Sweden national median for a physician is 1 470 000 kr a year. Among 1 metros with observed data, pay runs from about 1 030 000 kr in Stockholm to 1 030 000 kr in Stockholm (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 940 800 kr–2 116 800 kr 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 Swedish city.

When metro percentiles appear, prefer those over this national midpoint for a named city. Until then, treat 1 470 000 kr as a country-level sketch and pressure-test any offer with tax and cost-of-living tools.

Sweden shows about 0.7% 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.
