What anesthesiologists make

Median

$311,000

Lower end

$126,000

Upper end

$607,000

Job Bank does not give anesthesiologists a figure of their own. It pools them with all medical specialists: a median of about $311,000 a year (low $126,000, high $607,000) for 2023 to 2024. Most doctors in Canada bill the provincial health plan, and published billing figures are gross payments before office and practice costs, not take-home pay. Anesthesiologists work inside hospitals, so their practice costs are low. It varies by province and by how much call and overtime you take.
