President Biden is the 46th president of the United States and takes home a whopping salary of $400,000 a year. This puts his salary in the top 1% of earners in the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our data shows that the average advertised US salary is $71,837, meaning that Biden earns a huge 5x more than the average citizen. <\/span>On our site, just 0.01% of job postings advertise salaries of $400,000 or over – just 1,100 jobs in fact – meaning you\u2019d have to be an extremely high achiever to match the president\u2019s salary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that President Biden is earning a lot more than the people he leads, but how does his salary stack up against other world leaders’? <\/span><\/p>\n

USA<\/strong><\/p>\n

2021 – Present<\/p>\n

$400,000<\/p>\n

Usually, the US president\u2019s earnings far outweigh those of other world leaders’. Even with additional income from book royalties and speaking engagements and with Biden\u2019s wife Jill\u2019s salary, the Bidens only earned $580,000 in 2022-23.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Never fear though, President Biden does get some pretty sweet perks from the job including access to Air Force One and the country retreat Camp David as well as a $50,000 tax-free expenses account.<\/span><\/p>\n
