Pharmacy Technician Salary in Memphis, TN (2026)

What pharmacy technician pay in Memphis really looks like

Memphis tracks the national market almost exactly. The local pharmacy technician median of about $21.76 an hour ($45,260 a year) sits within 1% ($490) of the U.S. median of $45,750, so national salary benchmarks translate cleanly to this metro — the number you have seen quoted nationally is, give or take, what pharmacy technicians actually earn in Memphis.

The local range is moderate — $37,730 at the 25th percentile to $49,200 at the 75th (BLS). Half of Memphis Pharmacy Technicians earn inside that band, so it is a realistic target window: an offer near $49,200 is genuinely strong for the metro, while anything under $37,730 is worth pushing back on with the BLS figures in hand.

This is a substantial local market: BLS estimates roughly 2,090 pharmacy technician jobs across the Memphis, TN-MS-AR metro area (a count of metro employment, not a survey of reported salaries). A deep employer base is good news for pay — it means more openings to compare side by side, more turnover creating vacancies, and more leverage to hold out for an employer at the top of the local range instead of settling for the first offer that lands.

Right now, Jobeezy is tracking 24 open pharmacy technician jobs in Memphis against the BLS $45,260 benchmark — the live listings and the employers hiring are below, so you can see which openings actually clear the metro median before you apply.

Put it together and the picture for Memphis is concrete: a metro median of $45,260 with most pharmacy technicians landing between $37,730 and $49,200. The practical move is to aim for the upper half of that band. Jobeezy fit-scores local pharmacy technician openings, surfaces the employers posting toward $49,200, and applies for you — so your time goes to the jobs that clear the Memphis median, not the ones that sit under it.
