Orthoptist salary overview

Before we give you the average salary figures for an orthoptist, it's worth listing all the factors that influence it:

  • Experience: a novice orthoptist will generally earn less than a professional with several years' practice.
  • Location : salaries can vary depending on the region where the orthoptist works. These differences are linked to population density, cost of living and demand for medical care.
  • Status: whether working as a salaried employee or as a self-employed orthoptist, orthoptists are free to set their own rates in exchange for fiscal and administrative responsibility for the location they occupy.
  • Specialization: orthoptists with rare or in-demand specializations will earn more.

Average salaries for ophthalmologists

Due to the variability of the above-mentioned criteria, it is difficult to give a precise average salary for orthoptists. With this in mind, here is a non-exhaustive, but fairly representative, range:

  • Confirmed orthoptist :
  • Salaried : €20 to €27 net per hour.
  • Self-employed : variable rent or retrocession.

Orthoptist salary comparison

Regional comparison

In France, orthoptist salaries vary from region to region. They are influenced by factors such as population density, standard of living, competition and demand for dermatological services.

The regions where orthoptists enjoy the highest salaries are those with the greatest population density, as they offer a steady flow of patients. However, the level of competition can be higher, particularly in large urban areas. Finally, within the same city, people's standard of living can vary from one neighborhood to another, further modifying these data.

The regions with the highest averagesalaries orthoptistes:

  • Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes
  • Île-de-France
  • Nouvelle-Aquitaine
  • Occitanie
  • Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur

Regions with the lowestaveragesalaries orthoptistes:

  • Bourgogne-Franche-Comté

International comparison

Internationally, income disparities for orthoptists are significant and depend on economic, political and legislative factors. Of all the criteria cited, that of each country's healthcare system is the most important. In countries with a strong public healthcare system, such as France, salaries are better regulated and the differences are smaller than in countries where the private sector dominates and prices are freely set.

Furthermore, as the cost of living varies enormously from one nation to another, it's not always relevant to compare incomes alone, but to satisfy your curiosity, you should know that a Swedish orthoptist earns between 30,000 and 40,000 SEK gross per month (between €2,700 and €3,200), while an Australian orthoptist enjoys a remuneration of between 80,000 and 115,000 AUD per year (€50,000 to €70,000). To better represent these values, we need to take into account the local tax rate, as well as the cost of living.

In short, the career of an orthoptist offers a wide enough range of opportunities to enable the most ambitious to enjoy high and stimulating salary growth. Whether it's a question of changing location, status or specialty, there are many ways to increase your remuneration and benefit from the comfortable perks that come with valuable expertise.
