It honestly depends on what company you auditioned for, and what role.
If it's for a large role, it can take up to 2 months because they need to really evaluate all of the actors.
Usually, they can figure it out by the second week.
If it was a real formal audition, like they took you in byyourself and did a screentest and just was really 'nice' and a really big company, I would suggest you sending them a thank-you letter for their time and their considering you.
But don't make it sound like you're sending that to pry at them, they don't like that.
Best of luck with it!
Remember, you shouldnt have to wait more than 3 months.

A few things two keep in mind:
1) Did they say they would call regardless of wither you were casted or not
2) when did they say they would get back to you
3) how long has it been since your audition
I they said that they would call you if you got the part, they should have given you a date of when they would call you and most companies are pretty punctual about this so rehearsals can start a.s.a.p. If it's community theater and has been more then 5-7 days then I'm sorry to say it's not looking good and maybe it might be time to explore other options. But if it's a professional audition then it could take months.

Why aren't you calling their office to find out? Don't just sit around having a pity party. There could be many reasons why you haven't heard. Also, did you send a follow-up note telling them how much you appreciated having a call back. If you haven't, do so. And, be sure to include your photo and bio. It might get you this part, or the next one because they will remember you.
Next time, before you leave an audition, ask them when they will be making the final decision.

It varies, of course, but, after a week, I'd say you're pretty much dead in the water. Most shows are cast within a day or two after callbacks are completed. If they feel they need additional callbacks -- or need to solicit auditions from other actors -- that can add another day or two to the process, but those are unusual circumstances.

It depends what you auditioned for. If it was for something going into immediate production (such as a commercial) and you haven't been called, I would let it go.
For other projects, you may or may not be called in the future. However, casting directors are usually pretty good about letting people know as soon as they can.

You should never give up hoping you got the part. Sometimes it can be month before you get a call back, or you just might never get one. But, you shouldn't give up hoping after a certain amount of time. Just be patient. You time will come :)

If it's a play, until they start rehearsal.
If it's a movie, until they start preproduction.

One second. You got it or you didn't. Forget it and go do something else.
