In Chicago area, 90K-105K. You have to go to school for a minimum of 6 years. It is very hard to get accepted into pharmacy. It is not unusual for a school to have an acceptance ratio of 1:9.
Good luck

the salaries can vary according to region. In some places in the country, where the shortage is particularly bad, they lease luxury cars for you and pay huge sign-on bonuses.
I live in the Salt Lake City area. The going rate is about 48 to 50 per hour currently. Most retailers offer sign-ons in the 5 to 15K range. Compared to the cost of living, it is one of the better places.
The schooling issue is a bit more complicated to answer. You have to complete a 3 or 4 year program to get your degree depending on which school you attend.
Many applicants already have bachelor degrees when they apply.
Best case scenario for someone starting from nothing is at least 6 years, with 8 probably being the mean.
Some of the earlier answers i.e. 50 to 80K annually were not answered by a Pharmacists. I remember making 50 K.......in the 80's

Usually Pharmacists make between 50,000 and 80,000 per year, the last time I read a report. Many have a signing bonus also. There are specific Pharmacy schooling that you need to go through to become licensed. I'm not quite sure how long the schooling is, but you also need at least a Bachelor's degree to even get into Pharmacy School.
You can't forget to check into the prerequisites you need to be accepted.

around 55,000 -75,000, some pharmacists make well over 100,000 a year. It takes 3-4 years of Pre-reqs to complete for pharmacy school and then pharmacy school,itself, is 4 years. Pharmacy school is very competitive, the ones who have a degree and the best grades, and high scores on the PCAT are most preferred. So start your research.
