Best Answer

The salary of a TV writer will vary depending on the shows budget and their experience. The Writers Guild of America sets minimum rates at which writer can be paid. A contracted staff writer who works a 20 hour week can earn no less than $3,703 per week. Anyone who is ranked above a staff writer earns a minimum of $6,036 per week.

Your answer depends entirely on where you're working as a TV writer, the nature of the 'writers' room', your qualifications, track record and the contract your agent negotiates for you. You may earn Writer Guild of America minimums starting out.

You can visit the WGA Web site -- either East or West, depending on where you are -- and download their minimums scale.
