David Petraeus is a United States Army General, which means his pay grade is O-10. He has served since 1974, so that's over 34 years of service. Based on the 2010 Military Pay Tables, he makes a base amount of $17,785.80 a month or $213,429.60 a year. Again, that is the base amount. It does not include bonuses, incentives, or special pays.

Although, on the Military Pay Tables it also notes that "while serving as Chairman, Joint Chief of Staff/Vice Chairman, Joint Chief of Staff, Chief of Navy Operations, Commandant of the Marine Corps, Army/Air Force Chief of Staff, Commander of a unified or specified combatant command, basic pay is $19,983.60." With the assumption that his current role as Commander of Combat Operations in Afghanistan fits this, he actually makes $19,983.60+ a month, or $289,803.20+ a year.
