This depends on a lot of different factors:
- Type of DJ: radio, club, mobile, festival, party, etc.
- Venue/Number of People: Small club vs Stadium for example.
- Celebrity status: Relative nobody, local celeb, world famous, etc.
- Skill level: Newbie or veteran?
- Travel: Is the DJ travelling for the show?
- Producer vs DJ: does the DJ only spin tunes or do they also produce their own.
- How often you work: spinning every night, only on weekends, only once a month, even less?
I can tell you that mobile DJs (the guys who do weddings and such) often charge between $500 and $1400 for a wedding and will probably pocket the majority of that money if they are self employed, or if they work for a company they will likely get between $15 and $50 per hour take-home.
Club DJ salaries vary widely but personally I get paid $50 per hour plus a cut of the door for medium clubs, $25 per hour plus a cut of the door for small clubs, and I won't discuss how much I get paid for large clubs but the most I have made is $500 for a single hour. (plus any travel and expenses if I am out of town.)

What does a disc jockey do?
There are several types of disc jockeys. They include radio, mobile, club, and scratch disc jockeys. Radio disc jockeys consist of two unique groups. Some radio disc jockeys are really announcers or radio personalities. They perform interviews, introducing music, and are sometimes also responsible for programming the playlist for their show. The other radio disc jockeys are more traditional disc jockeys who focus on the performance of transitioning between songs. These radio disc jockeys will often be turntablists (scratch disc jockeys). Mobile Disc Jockeys provide music and amplification equipment at the location of the party. Most mobile disc jockeys perform for house parties, weddings, bar/bat mitzvahs, school dances, and other infrequent events. Club disc jockeys perform in clubs and bars. They are not generally considered mobile because most clubs and many bars have installed systems which the disc jockey uses. Club disc jockeys are also often specialists in a particular genre of music like classic rock, hip hop, or drum and bass. Turntablists (scratch disc jockeys) use various techniques in their performance to transform the music from its original composition to something unique to them. They blend music, match beats, adjust volume, and rapidly change the direction and tempo of multiple tracks in the process of transitioning between songs. This category is really a performance style that can be utilized in any of the previously mentioned categories.
