What is a neurologist?

Before going any further, let's briefly review what a neurologist is. As a specialist in the nervous system, the neurologist diagnoses and treats neurological disorders of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. 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

A neurologist's salary depends on a number of variables, including :

  • 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

Let's get down to brass tacks and answer the question on everyone's lips: how much does a neurologist earn? While it's still very difficult to give precise figures due to the above-mentioned criteria, we can give you a rough idea:

  • Average gross salary for a neurologist:
    • Salaried: between 40% and 45% of gross sales per month.
    • Self-employed: retrocession between 60 and 80% of gross monthly sales, or royalty of 15 to 20% of gross monthly sales.

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.

Career prospects and salary increases for neurologists

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