How cardiology physician pay ranges in Yemen

A good way to think about salary in Yemen is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all cardiology physicians in Yemen earn less than 1,510,400 YER 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 1,037,000 YER (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 1,908,800 YER (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of cardiology physicians sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 786,600 YER. The highest stretch to 2,374,400 YER, 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.

Cardiology physician pay by experience in Yemen

Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a cardiology physician in Yemen, 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 cardiology physician salary changes as you move through the career ladder.

  • 0-2 Years
    882,400 YER
  • 2-5 Years
    +31% from previous
    1,153,300 YER
  • 5-10 Years

    +9% from previous
    2,110,600 YER
  • 20+ Years
    +8% from previous
    2,281,800 YER

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 41%. That is the point at which a cardiology physician 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.


Cardiology physician pay by education in Yemen

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 Yemen: 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.


Cardiology physician gender pay gap in Yemen

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Yemen is no exception. Male cardiology physicians in Yemen earn an average of 1,703,200 YER a year, while female cardiology physicians earn around 1,405,700 YER. That works out to a 21% 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.
