Most came into the Majors after having worked from eight to 12 years on the average in the Minor Leagues for wages far below what they can earn in The Show. A Major League umpire's starting salary is around $120,000, with the senior umps earning up to $350,000. That may sound like a lot for what seems to be six months' work, but the umpire's season is considerably longer than that with Spring Training, All-Star Games and postseason play added into the mix.

Umpires earn a minimum $2,600 per month at Triple-A, $2,300 at Double-A, $2,000 at Class A and $1,900 at rookie leagues.Per diem for a minor league umpire is higher than that of a minor league player at $42.50-$56 depending on the minor league level in which they work.Pay for minor-league umpires is only by the season, usually three to five months a year.hey are paid well for their services and their union â the World Umpires Association â tends to their labor negotiations and deals with any labor disputes.
