Additional input from WikiAnswers contributors:

  • The earnings of a pharmacist depends upon location and experience. A new graduate would earn more money on the West Coast of the United States. An experienced pharmacist could earn anywhere from $50USD per hour to as much as $75 per hour as a full time employee. Per diem and part-time rates may be a bit higher. A contracted employee may also earn $60-$80USD because the position isn't permanent. On the east coast, a brand new graduate can expect to make $50USD per hour ($104,000 per year) their first year. This doesn't include a sign on bonus or shift differentials.
  • As a pharmacist, retail and mail order pay higher rates than a hospital pharmacist, but a hospital pharmacist has the broadest range of skills and the most opportunity for growth and advancement. A hospital pharmacist, once properly trained, can enter any arena of pharmacy-especially if they have a residency, or a specialty in a particular field. This is not necessarily true of the retail or mail order pharmacist. Ideally, an experienced hospital pharmacist with a proven track record can earn anywhere from $120,000USD to $170,000USD.
  • As a UK pharmacist community locums can get around £23 - £25 per hour for a typical shift, i.e. not emmergency booking or unsociable hours. Typical employee community pharmacist in the UK can expect anywhere from £17 to £24 per hour for non-managerial roles. Pharmacist managers get higher rates for the addtional responsibility.

A pharmacist makes around $166,000 a year. However, this number can vary with what type of pharmacist you are or how long you have been in practice. Try reseraching it!

A Pharmacy tech can have an associates' but a Pharmacist must at least have a B.S. or even a doctorate in pharmacology.

Within the US today, prospective pharmacists must earn a Doctor of Pharmacy degree (Pharm.D). The Bachelor of pharmacy degree is no longer awarded.
