In the US, as an employee in an office or hospital, transcriptionists may be paid by hour. A starting transcriptionist in an office may make around $8-12 per hour. After two years of experience, one can expect to make around $12-20 per hour in an office. Self-employed transcriptionists may start up around $10-15 per hour (7-14c per line), and within several years can expect to earn $15-40 per hour, depending upon the type of work and equipment used.
Equate these numbers and arrive into a conclusion. Depending on the contract procured or the office one is working with, depending on the typing speed, depending on the clarity of dictation, the amount an MT can earn is a variable as mentioned in the first para.
