Presidential Salary Information. The most recent salary increase, to $400,000/year from $200,000/year, took effect when George W. Bush became President. The President also receives a $50,000 non-taxable expense account. The compensation of the President is controlled by law, specifically 3 USC 102 (Compensation of the President, Title 3, Section 102, of the US Code).
White House staff salaries have been transparent since 1995 when the White House was required to deliver a report to Congress listing the title and salary of every employee. The range of White House staff salaries is wide: junior analysts and staff assistants typically make the lowest amount of money at $42,000 per year, and the presidentâs salary is at the top end of the range at $400,000 per year.
