Donald Trump’s likely income within a month as president

In addition to his basic salary, the American president is entitled to various allowances that strengthen the total compensation package. These include:

$50,000 for personal and official duties.

$100,000 for official travel expenses.

$19,000 for entertainment purposes.

$100,000 to redecorate the White House upon taking office.

Factoring in these allowances, the total annual compensation package for the president comes to around $569,000 (about Rs 4.79 crore), significantly higher than just the basic salary, the BT report said.

In addition, the president enjoys non-monetary benefits, which can be equally valuable. For example, the president stays in the White House without paying rent, has access to Air Force One and Marine One, and is driven in a fleet of armored limousines.
