Rookie NBA refs start at $80,000 a year. Refs officiate 82 games a year in the regular season. As they gain seniority they gain raises in income with some of the top veteran refs making 300,00-400,000 a year.

If they are selected to ref in the playoffs they make much more money each round that they officiate. But they have to work their way up the seniority ladder. For example, Violet Palmer has been an NBA ref for 10 years and the 2007 playoffs were her first time officiating in the playoffs.
