How your salary is structured

Your pharmacy employee salary consists of:

  • Scale salary – divided into three salary levels
  • Allowances – based on roles, qualifications, and seniority

Your salary level depends on your experience
Salary grades are based on your years of professional experience:

  • Level 1: 0–2 years of experience

  • Level 2: 2–4 years of experience

  • Level 3: 4–6 years of experience

  • Level 4: More than 6 years of experience

After six years of pharmacy employment, you automatically receive a general allowance on top of your salary.

You negotiate your own salary

As a pharmacy pharmacist, you negotiate your own salary—both when starting a new position and typically once a year thereafter. Most salary negotiations focus on:

  • Function and qualification allowances
  • Your specific responsibilities
  • Your experience and professional growth
