A typical endocrinology physician working in Brazil brings home around 24,058 BRL a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 142,300 BRL, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 453,200 BRL 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 endocrinology physician 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 endocrinology physician pay ranges in Brazil

A good way to think about salary in Brazil is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all endocrinology physicians in Brazil earn less than 296,000 BRL 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 195,200 BRL (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 383,300 BRL (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of endocrinology physicians sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 142,300 BRL. The highest stretch to 453,200 BRL, 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.

Endocrinology physician pay by experience in Brazil

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

  • 0-2 Years
    167,100 BRL
  • 2-5 Years
    +30% from previous
    216,800 BRL
  • 5-10 Years

    297,000 BRL

    +7% from previous
    396,300 BRL
  • 20+ Years
    +6% from previous
    420,800 BRL

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 37%. That is the point at which a endocrinology 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.


Endocrinology physician pay by education in Brazil

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 Brazil: 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.


Endocrinology physician gender pay gap in Brazil

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Brazil is no exception. Male endocrinology physicians in Brazil earn an average of 301,300 BRL a year, while female endocrinology physicians earn around 275,200 BRL. That works out to a 9% 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.
