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.
Baseball umpires earn more money annually than the referees in the other three major American sports leagues, according to âMental Floss,â a bimonthly magazine. NFL referees earn $25,000 to $70,000 per season, but they only work one game per week for the NFL seasonâs 17 weeks and can work another job during the week.NBA referees earn between $100,000 and $300,000 annually during an 82-game season.ower levels of Minor League Baseball play in smaller cities. The Double-A leagues pay umpires $2,300 to $2,700 per month, while Class A full-season leagues pay $2,000 to $2,400 monthly.
