How much does a veterinarian make yearly?

Salary range for veterinarians ranges from $50,480 to $141,680 per year. This depends heavily on where you are practicing

The salary range for veterinarians is very wide. There are many diverse opportunities for veterinarians. Small animal (cats and dogs) veterinarians can make between $50,000-$100,000 per year, depending on location and type of clinic (emergency tends to pay more). Zoo veterinarians typically make lower, around $50K-60K per year. If you progress up and teach at a university or do more leadership roles, you an make more than $100,000 per year and lab animal veterinarians usually make anywhere from $100,000-$150,000 per year. Public health veterinarians and those in the government or public sector industry usually make less... around $45,000-60,000.

I agree with Leslie. Veterinarians can make a wide range of salary, depending on what type of work they do. I would also recommend going to www.vinfoundation.org for more information about the cost of education to become a veterinarian. Salary is important, but so is the educational debt you take on the way to your degree, as well as debt:income ratio.
