Federal prosecutors usually have the title of Assistant United States Attorney. They are paid based on the GS level pay scale, starting at GS-11. The 2009 GS-11 starting salary is $49,544. The maximum GS level is GS-15 and the maximum 2009 salary for that level is $127,604. These numbers do not include locality pay that gives cost of living adjustments to attorneys assigned to high cost of living areas.

Due to many variables such as location, experience, etc. a specific answer isn't possible. Assuming the question refers to public rather than private prosecutors, the salary range can be anywhere from $20,000 to $110,000 +.

As chairman of the Federal Reserve, Bernanke's salary is $180,000 per year
I visited with a federal prosecutor about four years ago and he told me they make between 80-100,000 a year. Again this was four years ago, and this is on the federal level. I do not know what state and city prosecutors make.
Prosecutors can choose to Nolle Prosse a criminal charge but they do not have the power or authority to dismiss a charge. Only judges can dismiss a charge. I seriously doubt that any statistics are kept on the number of state AND federal charges nationwide that are Nolle Prosse'd.
what effect do pretax salary reductions have on the federal income tax?
The overall 'boss' of a state prosecutor is the State's Attorney General. The prosecutors office is part of the Executive Branch of government - not the Judicial Branch.

Prosecutors work for the Executive Branch of Government and are paid civil servants. They receive the same pay whether they win or lose a case. However, their promotion, and retention and salary advances are reflective of their successful vs. unsuccessful activities.
