The attached USA Today article states that the top 10 idols get to go on the summer tour and they make a 6 figure salary for doing so. For just doing the show, I have not found any reference that gives that information. They may do the competition for free.

During the airing of American Idol all top 12 contestants are paid for a number of things. They are required to join AFTA which has to pay them a minimum of 960.00 everytime they are on stage. They also get paid for airtime on top of all the free stuff they get from sponsors etc. My guess is they are all very well off...
