Many fans would say any amount an NFL referee makes is too much, especially after calls go against their team. The refs would argue that they don't make nearly enough for such a thankless job. On any given Sunday, either side could be right. You may remember the bitter pay dispute between the NFL and the referee's union back in 2001 when the zebras went on strike. The NFL hired 112 temporary officials, some of whom had worked the most competitive American College Football conferences. They were paid $8,000 for a guaranteed four weeks. Up to that time, the then-striking officials were earning from $24,825 to $69,990 per season, depending on experience. What do they earn now? A knowledgeable (and hopefully trustworthy) acquaintance states that NFL referees currently earn between $42,295 and $120,998 per season. That might not sound like much, but remember, the NFL season is only 16 games. How do those figures compare with the salaries of refs in other sports? According to AskMen.com, Major League Baseball umpires earn anywhere from $100,000 to $280,000 per season, plus they get a generous expense account. NHL officials make even more -- from $115,000 to $220,000 per season, based on experience. Probably because they have to know how to skate backwards and stay out of the way of swinging hockey sticks.

∙ 8y agoAccording to the Business Insider, NFL refs will make up to $200,000 per year for refereering 20 four-hour games by 2019 CE. However, most referee positions for the NFL are usually part time. According to CNN, refs made $25,000 to $70,000 per season in 2009 CE.
Currently the average income of a ref is approximately $50,000 per year. Aside from preventing concussions in the games, another motivating factor for the increase in salary is due to preventing bad calls which have caused millions of dollars, if not more, to be lost in gambling circles.
