Hawaii ranks 10th out of 51 states for phlebotomist pay, placing it among the higher-paying states in the country. Nationally, 143,540 phlebotomists are employed, making Hawaii's workforce of 110 a small share of that total. Higher pay in Hawaii tracks the state's higher cost of living.

Entry-level phlebotomists in Hawaii typically start around $20.00 an hour, or about $41,600 a year, according to the same wage data. That figure reflects positions filled by newly certified phlebotomists with limited hands-on experience. Pay tends to move toward the state's typical figure of $47,750 a year within the first few years on the job. Certification and steady blood-draw experience both factor into how quickly that happens.

Experienced phlebotomists in Hawaii often earn upwards of $50,450 a year, with the top 10% making over $59,760 annually, or $28.73 an hour. That leaves a spread of $18,160 between entry-level and top-earning phlebotomists in the state. Setting, years on the job, and location within Hawaii all play into where a given phlebotomist lands in that range. Hospital and lab roles in Urban Honolulu tend to sit toward the higher end.

The rise wasn't perfectly steady; pay moved from $34,670 in 2016 up to $45,510 by 2024 before reaching this year's figure.

With 70 phlebotomists working there, it also accounts for the largest share of the state's workforce.

Hawaii's higher cost of living, especially for housing, is part of why pay here runs above the national figure.
