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.
