According to the Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges, most Naturopathic physicians who work full-time make between $60,000- $200,000.
However, the cost of medical school is extremely expensive. Many people find that they need to apply for loans in order to pay the tuition. For example, Bastyr University, an accredited medical school in Washington state, is charging $42,556 per year. It is a 4 year graduate program.
