Everything on this page is in Moroccan dirham (MAD, symbol د.م.), which lets you compare numbers like-for-like without worrying about exchange rates.
The numbers here are pulled together from official government wage data, large independent salary surveys, and aggregated worker-reported pay. Most reported salaries include the benefits that are common in Morocco, such as housing or transport allowances, which is worth keeping in mind if you're comparing against a country where those are usually paid on top.
How much does a pediatric cardiology physician make in Morocco?
A typical pediatric cardiology physician working in Morocco brings home around 54,933 MAD a month before tax. Entry-level pay starts near 308,300 MAD, and the top of the ladder reaches roughly 1,041,900 MAD 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 pediatric cardiology 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 pediatric cardiology physician pay ranges in Morocco
A good way to think about salary in Morocco is to look at the distribution rather than the headline average. Half of all pediatric cardiology physicians in Morocco earn less than 698,200 MAD 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 454,300 MAD (the 25th percentile), and a quarter clear 922,300 MAD (the 75th percentile). The middle 50% of pediatric 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 308,300 MAD. The highest stretch to 1,041,900 MAD, 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.
Pediatric cardiology physician pay by experience in Morocco
Years of experience is the single biggest lever on pay for a pediatric cardiology physician in Morocco, 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 pediatric cardiology physician salary changes as you move through the career ladder.
- 0-2 Years357,700 MAD
- 2-5 Years+38% from previous493,000 MAD
- 5-10 Years+43% from previous702,800 MAD
- 10-15 Years+22% from previous854,300 MAD
- 15-20 Years+6% from previous903,500 MAD
- 20+ Years+9% from previous985,700 MAD
The single largest jump on the ladder is from 2 - 5 Years to 5 - 10 Years, where pay rises by about 43%. That is the point at which a pediatric 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.
Pediatric cardiology physician pay by education in Morocco
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 Morocco: 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.
Pediatric cardiology physician gender pay gap in Morocco
The gender pay gap is a stubborn feature of almost every labour market, and Morocco is no exception. Male pediatric cardiology physicians in Morocco earn an average of 709,600 MAD a year, while female pediatric cardiology physicians earn around 620,300 MAD. 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.
