How much money does a pharmacist earn?

actually they make a lot of money because in a day they make like £1000 but euros not pounds

The earnings of a pharmacist depends upon location and experience. For example a new graduate would earn more money if he lives on the West Coast of the United States due to the cost of living expenses. Although New York City is one of the most expensive places to live, a pharmacist living in Los Angeles would earn more money because the rate of pay is higher overall on the West Coast. There are no absolutes here. An experienced pharmacist could earn anywhere from $50USD per hour to as much to $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
