What is the salary and benefits of the President of the United States?
How much salary will former US President Donald Trump get when he returns to the White House after four years? Trump, a billionaire, was president last time on a salary of only $1 a year. Let’s wait and see if the same pattern will continue this time too. As the salaries of US presidents have remained unchanged for more than 20 years, Donald Trump earns $400,000 a year. But this amount is not the highest salary in America. Private sector CEOs earn more than this a year.
The President of the United States also gets some additional perks, including a $50,000 tax-free spending allowance, a $100,000 travel budget, and $19,000 for official entertainment. He will also get a fully equipped White House to live in.
In 1969, the salary of the President of the United States was $200,000. It was doubled in 2001.
Even when presidents retire, they receive pensions and other benefits. Most former presidents have written ‘memoirs’ that sell millions of copies. Hundreds of thousands of dollars can be obtained from it.
