What dermatologists make
Typical net
$380,000
Part-time or new
$280,000
Busy with cosmetic work
$600,000
CIHI (Canadian Institute for Health Information) reports average gross payments of about $520,000 a year for dermatology (2023 to 2024), but the median is closer to $380,000 because a small number of very high billers pull the average up. Office overhead takes 25% to 35%, so most dermatologists net roughly $280,000 to $450,000 from public billing. Cosmetic work is paid privately on top. It varies by province and by how you bill.
