Salary Table: Healthcare
The table below is compiled as a practical market benchmark. Experience-based ranges are “corridors”, not a guarantee.

How to Read the Table and Evaluate Offers
Data format: ₪ gross per month, full-time (unless stated otherwise). The table provides benchmarks — the final total depends on the employer, facility type (hospital/clinic/private practice), shift pattern, on-call duties, allowances, and benefits package.
How to Compare Offers Properly
- Compare the same format: gross/net, full-time/part-time, salary vs piecework.
- Check what’s included: nights, Shabbat, on-call, specialty/certification allowance, bonuses.
- Clarify the facility type: public/private, inpatient/outpatient — terms can differ.
- Look at the schedule: number of shifts, number of on-call duties, weekend requirements.
- Compare the “package”: transportation/shuttles, meals, insurance, training, schedule stability.
How We Collect Data on WORK
We build ranges from more than one source and not from a single vacancy. The goal is to provide a practical market benchmark that helps you quickly understand whether an offer is “within market” or not.
What We Consider in the Methodology
- Market statistical benchmarks — overall level and salary distribution by role.
- Experience-level split — 0 years, 1–3 years, 6+ years (where applicable).
- Real income structure — shift differentials/on-call/allowances when typical for the role.
- Market adjustments — to keep the “top of the range” realistic and achievable in typical scenarios.
- Aggregated feedback — summarized data from users and employers to refine estimates.
When the Table May Not Be Relevant
- Part-time or non-standard schedules (2–3 shifts a week, short shifts).
- Highly shift-heavy model (many nights/Shabbat/on-call) — totals may exceed the “table” range.
- Private practice / self-employment — income and expenses are calculated differently.
- Rare specialization or managerial role — ranges can differ more.
- Large regional differences and differences by facility type.
Examples: “Within Market or Not”
Example 1: Nurse (1–3 years)
Offer: 13,500 ₪ gross. Range for 1–3 years: 11,500–15,500 ₪. Conclusion: within market. Clarify whether nights/Shabbat are included and how many shifts per month.
Example 2: Pharmacist (6+ years)
Offer: 20,000 ₪ gross. Range for 6+ years: 17,900–20,500 ₪. Conclusion: top of market. Check workload, shift pattern, and additional duties (shift lead / inventory / responsibility).
Example 3: Paramedic / Ambulance (0 years)
Offer: 10,500 ₪ gross. Range for 0 years: 8,500–12,100 ₪. Conclusion: within market. For comparison, focus on shift count and nights/Shabbat/on-call supplements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this gross or net?
The table shows gross amounts (before taxes and mandatory deductions).
Why do healthcare totals depend so much on shifts?
Nights, Shabbat, on-call duties, and qualification allowances often make up a significant part of the total pay. That’s why it’s important to compare offers with the same schedule.
Why does the “top of the range” look conservative for some roles?
Because very high totals are often achievable only with increased shift/on-call intensity, managerial responsibility, or specific conditions (private sector / rare specializations).
How often is the data updated?
Values are reviewed regularly based on market dynamics and accumulated statistics.
