In 2010 the US president Barack Obama earned $400,000 for the year, along with a $150,000 expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account and $19,000 for official entertaining and $10,000 per year in franking expenses (letters and postage). All of the President's salary and expenses are approved by Congress. And all of this - except the $100,000 per year in travel expenses per year and the $10,000 per year in franking expenses - is taxable income.
This rate of pay has remained consistent since 2001, the date of the last pay raise for the presidents.
Since 2001, when the presidential salary was raised, the US president is paid $400,000 plus expenses. Thus, that is what he was paid in 2010.
