I'll start w/ this, which is straight across the board: DOE as of 2009 -- Median salary: 20 years experience or more: $39,000 10-19 years: $36,000 5-9 years: $31,000 1-4 years: $27,000 1 year or less: $22,000 [Take annual salary and divide by 13 months x 40 hours x 4 weeks = 2080 hours for hourly salary] Here's what it was in 2001: 2001 -- “Certified Pharmacy Technicians earn 23% more than non-certified Technicians.” The pay of technicians depends on many factors, including PTCB certification, previous experience, employment setting, area of the country, and years practicing as a pharmacy technician. The average pay ranges from $6.50 to $13.00 an hour usually based upon certification and length of employment. However, many CPhTs earn over $15 an hour. https://www.ptcb.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Salary_Survey&Template=/CustomPages/Learn/Survey.cfm Mar 19 09, 6:31 PM
