It's really tough to give a dollar amount, as mileage DOES vary.
All the best.

There is a flight academy that hires all students who complete their program. After completion, the student is hired for 12 months as a CFI and they pay $15 an hour. They claim that the CFI gets a lot of hours. I was just wondering if this was good or bad pay for a new CFI?

A lot depends on where you are in the country, the type of instruction you do, and the type of school you are teaching at.
I taught at a large private 141 school (non-collegiate) in the DC metro area in 2000. (~18 planes in the schools fleet, ~20 instructors)
Instructor rates were as follows: (2000 rates)
Private pilot course, BFR, Introductory flights, sightseeing: $16/hr (flight time)
Instrument, IPC, Commercial courses: $17/hr
CFI, CFII, Multiengine: $18/hr
