Average Dermatologist Salary in Bermuda for 2026

How much does a dermatologist make in Bermuda?

A typical dermatologist working in Bermuda brings home around 5,121 BMD a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 31,380 BMD, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 92,240 BMD for the most experienced and specialised people in the role.

The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title. A junior dermatologist working at a small local employer earns very different money from a senior at a multinational. Skills, employer, city and years in the seat all push the number around.

How dermatologist pay ranges in Bermuda

A good way to think about salary in Bermuda is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all dermatologists in Bermuda earn less than 56,460 BMD a year, and the other half earn more. That middle number is the median, and it is usually more useful than the average for answering "is my pay normal here".

Looking at the quartiles fills in the picture. A quarter of earners take home less than 38,340 BMD (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 70,700 BMD (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of dermatologists sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 31,380 BMD. The highest stretch to 92,240 BMD, though only a small fraction of earners ever reach that level. If you are deciding whether your own offer or current pay is reasonable, work out which of those four bands you would fall into and use that as your reference point.

Dermatologist pay by experience in Bermuda

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a dermatologist in Bermuda, ahead of education and almost any other single factor. The longer you have been in the role, the more your employer can trust you to handle complexity, mentor others and act independently, all of which command higher pay. The chart below shows how the typical dermatologist salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 36%. That is the point at which a dermatologist typically goes from "competent in the role" to "the person other people in the team learn from", and the market pays well for that step.

Dermatologist pay by education in Bermuda

Education lifts pay across almost every role, but the size of the lift varies enormously. The biggest premiums show up in licensed professions like medicine, law and accounting, where extra years of formal study open up seniority that isn't available without the qualification. The smallest premiums show up in skilled trades and creative work, where practical experience often beats academic credentials.

As a rough cross-industry guide for Bermuda: a post-secondary certificate or diploma adds around 17% over a high-school-only baseline. A bachelor's degree typically adds another 25% on top of that. A master's lifts pay a further 30%, and a PhD adds about 22% more in fields that value research-level qualifications. These are averages across many different professions, so the real number for your specific job could easily be twice as high or close to zero. The per-job pages below have the real numbers for individual roles.

Dermatologist gender pay gap in Bermuda

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Bermuda is no exception. Male dermatologists in Bermuda earn an average of 64,300 BMD a year, while female dermatologists earn around 56,640 BMD. That works out to a 14% gap in favour of men, even when comparing people doing the same work.

A pay gap of this size has a real long-term cost. Over a typical thirty-year career it can add up to several years of pay, and it compounds through pensions, retirement contributions and bonus-linked stock. Some of the gap is explained by women being more likely to work part-time, take career breaks, or be steered toward lower-paying specialisations. Some of it is straightforward unequal pay for the same job, which is harder to defend.

Pay raises for a dermatologist in Bermuda

Most countries hand out at least some kind of pay raise every year, typically when an employee's contract is reviewed or as a cost-of-living adjustment to keep wages roughly in step with inflation. The rhythm and size of those raises varies hugely between industries.

A typical worker doing this role in Bermuda sees a raise of about 10% every 27 months, which works out to roughly 4% on an annual basis. That figure is the typical underlying rate; in years where inflation runs high you can usually expect a bit more, and in flat-economy years a bit less.

Across all jobs in Bermuda, the national average raise is around 5% every 28 months.
