The wide gap between low end and top end reflects how much pay can vary inside the same job title.

How obstetrics and gynecology physician pay ranges in Cambodia

A good way to think about salary in Cambodia is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all obstetrics and gynecology physicians in Cambodia earn less than 116,161,200 KHR 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 74,518,900 KHR (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 154,800,100 KHR (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of obstetrics and gynecology physicians sit somewhere inside that band, which is where the typical reader of this page probably lives.

The very lowest reported salaries sit around 49,438,400 KHR. The highest stretch to 171,598,600 KHR, 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.

Obstetrics and gynecology physician pay by experience in Cambodia

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

  • 0-2 Years
    56,158,300 KHR
  • 2-5 Years
    +34% from previous
    75,000,300 KHR

    147,600,500 KHR
  • 20+ Years
    +8% from previous
    159,601,400 KHR

The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 48%. That is the point at which a obstetrics and gynecology 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.


Obstetrics and gynecology physician pay by education in Cambodia

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 Cambodia: 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.


Obstetrics and gynecology physician gender pay gap in Cambodia

The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Cambodia is no exception. Male obstetrics and gynecology physicians in Cambodia earn an average of 115,679,500 KHR a year, while female obstetrics and gynecology physicians earn around 99,480,300 KHR. That works out to a 16% 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.
