What is the annual salary of an astronaut?

Answer 1

NASA does not disclose the salaries paid to astronauts, so there's no way of actually knowing how much money an astronaut makes. Further complicating the matter, there's not one salary for astronauts. Here's what we do know. The astronauts who are in the military are on loan from their branch of service. After they become astonauts, they continue to be paid by their service branch, not NASA. Civilian astronauts are paid according to a government scale that ranges from classifications GS-11 to GS-14. In 2012 the minimum salary for a GS-11 employee was $64,724 and a GS 14 was $141,715.

Answer 2

$49,764 per year for Gs-12 astronauts and 600,000 for better astronauts called GS-13
