If you’re curious about the salary of a dietitian, you’ve come to the right place! In this post, I’ll provide a detailed breakdown of the EXACT earnings that dietitians can expect at different stages of their careers, as well as the variations in salary across different parts of the world.
For many people considering dietetics as a career, or any healthcare career, salary usually isn’t at the forefront of your mind. Helping people is your desire, and being paid for doing that is a bonus.
I certainly was one of those people. For me, a career doing something I loved was more important than money. It still is. However, it would be stupid not to consider it.
As a dietitian, you can work a traditional job and earn an average salary. But, there is also the possibility to earn a lot of money if you have a business mindset, take risks and seek opportunities! However, what a “good or average salary” is is subjective. So, in this video, I’m going to be as objective as possible and stick to the facts and figures.
In this video, I’m going to reveal everything I know about a dietitian’s salary. Hopefully, this will benefit you if you are considering a career in dietetics or if you are already working!
The information provided is based on personal knowledge, experience, and cited sources. All information is accurate as of January 2024.
For easy comparison purposes, I have converted all figures into USD using Jan 2024 conversion rates.

Dietitian Salary In The Public Sector
The traditional route for many dietitians is working in clinical practice within the public sector (e.g. the HSE in Ireland or the NHS in the UK). These roles are often in acute hospitals or in the community. The benefits of these types of jobs are:
-Financial and job security (steady, reliable monthly income).
-Set salaries nationally; you won’t be underpaid compared to a colleague.
-Structured working hours (usually 9-5 style).
-Good annual leave.
-Public sector pensions.
-Low stress (in terms of income security as less financial risk).
The drawbacks:
-Set salaries nationally; work excellence can’t be acknowledged with financial rewards.
-No yearly bonus.
-Promotions based on hard work or achievements are not often possible.
-Limited scope for increasing earnings.
-Your manager often can’t reward you – they must abide by the public health systems.
As you can see, I have “set salary” as both a positive and a negative here as it will depend on your outlook, goals and personality. For some people, a role and salary structure like this is satisfactory. However, for some, it is frustrating, particularly if you are a very hard worker with high financial ambitions. You could be working much harder than another colleague, and you will have the same salary.
