What is a neurologist?
Before going any further, let's briefly review what a neurologist is.

Their work covers a wide range of pathologies, from migraines and strokes to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and multiple sclerosis.
Factors influencing neurologists' salaries in 2024

- Experience: this is the main factor affecting a neurologist's remuneration. Experience is a key factor, as it mechanically increases income.
- location: in France, there are income disparities between neurologists practicing in urban and rural areas. These differences are linked to population density, the cost of living and the demand for medical care in the region.
- The status: a neurologist can practice under different statuses, such as salaried or self-employed. This decision influences remuneration, since a salaried doctor cannot set his or her own fees, unlike a self-employed one.
- The specialty: neurologists specializing in neurosurgery, neuro-oncology or neuro-immunology will have an added value on the job market, which will imply a better average remuneration, thanks to the opening of better neurologist job offers.
Average salary for neurologists in France in 2024

Comparison with previous years
- Salary trends from 2020 to 2023: between 2020 and 2023, neurologists' salaries rose moderately, by an average of 2-3% per year. This reflects both inflation and the increasing value of this medical specialty.
- Trends and forecasts for 2024: for 2024, the projected increase is 2-4%. This positive trend is underpinned by the growing demand for neurological care, linked to the aging of the population and the rise in neurodegenerative diseases.

These management positions generally come with a significant salary increase, ranging from 20% to 40% depending on the position and the establishment.
