Watching the government
Five ways to watch the Administration
Tracking Income in the Administration.
The orders the President signs, in plain language, and what they change.
The securities the President, Vice President, and cabinet disclose buying and selling.
The money behind the President's campaigns and the outside spending around them.
Every named clemency grant since 1989: who was pardoned, what was forgiven, and the process and money behind it.
What officials report earning beyond their public salary, from their financial disclosures.
The current administration only: most earlier reports are destroyed six years after they are filed.

Part 2 of the form lists income and the source it came from, in exact dollars. The total counts only items that print one dollar figure. Many are revenue of businesses he owns, not pay to him. A retirement item may print a monthly rate in the form’s own words; the figure shown is the amount the form prints. Each percent is the item over the total.
The items are from the annual report covering 2025. The 2024 report is pay from before he took office and is not added to this total.

Outside pay
How large it is, apart from the President.
Median outside income
$144,386
17 annual and exit reports
Each column counts officials on their latest annual or exit form, by the largest total printed in dollars. The dashed column counts officials whose form gives no exact amount; it is not a zero. The President is not on this axis. Nominee forms are pay from before office and are not counted here. The largest, $138,295,576, is pay on a form whose year includes the start of the job.

The rest of the administration
Who reported outside income.
10 of 15 include pay from before office.
Each figure adds the amounts given to the dollar on the official’s latest form of that kind. An annual form covers a calendar year; for the year an official took office it can include pay from before taking office, and the list marks them. An exit form covers the last stretch in office. A nominee form is filed before taking office, so its pay is from before office. The three are separate lists because their figures are not comparable. Officials whose form gives no exact amount are not listed; that is not a zero.
Sources: OGE Form 278 reports, Part 2, released by the Office of Government Ethics. Pay for the public post is set by law and is not on the form.
The Office of Government Ethics drops officials from its public portal after they leave, and by law it destroys most reports six years after they are filed. We saved some earlier reports before they went, but no complete set for any earlier administration survives, and a partial record shown as if it were whole would mislead. We keep our own copy of every report this page reads, so these figures outlast the source.
