Top 20 Best Cities for Pharmacistss

We've ranked the best US cities for pharmacistss by calculating the Real Disposable Income.

How We Calculate the Score

Disposable Income = Monthly Take-Home Pay (after federal & state taxes) - Estimated Mortgage (assuming 20% down, current rates on median local home) - Cost of Living Adjusted Standard Expenses.
