CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) reports average gross payments of about $485,000 a year for anesthesia (2023 to 2024), with a median near $480,000. Overhead is tiny because you work inside a hospital, so most of that is take-home. It varies by province and by how much call and overtime you take.
