It depends on who you work for and where you live. I began working in the pharmacy at CVS and was paid around $7.50 not being certified. When I got certified, CVS only raised my hourly wage $.25. WOO HOO.... I was pissed. So I applied to Walgreens and I started out at around $11.50 being a certified pharmacy tech and I have been there now for 2 years and I am over $12 now. I have heard that each pharmacy does have a cap as far as how much one makes but I'm not sure what it is. Also, with Walgreens, if you become a senior tech, you make more money based on the amount of prescriptions filled.

Every state requires certification of pharmacy techs but the requirements may very from state to state.
Generally, hospital pharmacy technicians tend to earn higher salaries than retail pharmacy technicians. This difference can be attributed to the more complex responsibilities and specialized knowledge required in a hospital setting, as well as the potential for additional certifications. Salaries can vary significantly based on location, experience, and the specific institution or retailer. Overall, while both roles are essential, hospital pharmacy techs often receive higher compensation.
Pharmacists legally sell medicines in the USA. Pharmacy Techs help pharmacists complete tasks in a pharmacy.
As of my last update, Walgreens pharmacy technicians in Tennessee typically earn between $13 to $20 per hour, depending on factors such as experience, location, and specific store policies. It's advisable to check current job postings or company resources for the most accurate and up-to-date salary information, as wages can fluctuate. Additionally, benefits and bonuses may also be part of the overall compensation package.
