Pharmacist income by countries?

Question

Anyone know average pharmacist income in Canada? UK? Australia?

And if you graduate with a Bachelor of Pharmacy instead of Pharm.D, do you earn less income?(In case of America)

Answer 1

In the U.S., the B.Pharm degree no longer exists. According to salary surveys, for PharmDs and B.Pharms in the same area, there is not major salary difference.

Answer 2

Pharmacist Income

Answer 3

Im a university student in Australia thinking of going into pharmacy myself, i've done a lot of research into their salary and i know people who are pharmacists and own pharmacies.

If you work for someone else in a community/retail pharmacy:

Pre-registration year (first year): $30 000 - $40 000
Registered pharmacist (2nd year onwards): $60 000 - $90 000
Registered pharmacist in charge/manager: $90 000 - $140 000

If you own your own pharmacy you gross anywhere between:
Smaller to medium pharmacy: $200 000 - $ 500 000
Larger/busier pharmacy in good position: $500 000 - 2 million

Anually.

Pharmacy is a very good career in australia. If you chose to go into hospital pharmacy the pay isn't as good. Depends what you want more in a job though.

Also keep in mind that the average salary in Australia is only $35 000 annually. So pharmacists get paid ALOT.

Answer 4

In America, it would depend on your job. Some companies only want to hire a Pharm D. But in my experience, the income is the same as long as you are in the same position. So, if you are a Staff Pharmacist at the same hospital, doing the same job, your pay would be the same regardless of which degree you have.
