What dermatologists make
Median
$328,730
Bottom tenth
$102,810
Top tenth
$578,560
The national median is $328,730 a year, the bottom tenth earn $102,810 or less and the top tenth $578,560 or more (2025 federal wage survey). One caution: the federal survey counts physicians who are employed and paid a wage. Dermatologists who own or part-own a practice are not in it, and the bottom tenth mostly reflects part-time and academic work rather than a normal full-time job.
