How much did David Archuleta earn in American idol?

As far as I know, David Archuleta made no money on American Idol. I do not even think the winner gets money for winning. The winner gets a guaranteed record contract. That contract might pay some advance money, but that is after Idol ends. As contestants, I believe they received room and board (a place to sleep and food) and the clothing they wore on the show. They may have received a small amount from sales of their performances and studio versions on iTunes, but I think 19E (who runs Idol) probably reaped the most profits from that. After Idol is over, the highest earning Idols can earn from $100,000 to $6,000,000 depending on their album and single sales and the number and size of concerts they do. David Archuleta made 1.3 million dollars in his first year after Idol. Cook made 2 million but that included his sponsorship of Sketchers shoes.
