How much does a phlebotomist make? According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Phlebotomists can earn an average of $29,730 a year in the United States.
Generally, phlebotomists earn a higher wage working in larger cities, and those phlebotomists who work in diagnostic laboratories are often paid more than those who work in hospitals or physicians’ offices. In addition, phlebotomists who have graduated from an accredited phlebotomy program are usually compensated better than those who merely have on the job training with no certificate or diploma.

However, working for a hospital could require that phlebotomists work a more unconventional schedule consisting of nights and weekends since phlebotomy services are often needed around the clock in a hospital.
