Taking a job in the public center is certainly not the most lucrative option out there, but most White House employees are still paid relatively high salaries. As these paychecks are covered by American taxpayers, White House jobs are all on public record. These are the salaries that are offered to these White House jobs.
President (Donald Trump) — $400,000
Of course, being President is no easy task, and that translates to a yearly salary of $400,000. Additionally, the top position also offers a yearly $50,000 expense allowance, $100,000 a year for travel expenses, and $19,000 per year for entertainment. Since 2001, every president has received this amount.

Vice President (Mike Pence) — $230,700
Vice President Mike Pence earns a yearly salary of $230,700 for his work as second in command. His predecessor Joe Biden received the same amount, and this has been the standard number since 2010. In 2019, Pence was meant to receive a pay raise and he would have earned $243,500 per year instead, but due to the government shutdown at the time, the move was halted. The Vice President has said that he is thrifty and buys his suits in two for one deals.
