Could see it be somewhere between $500k-$800k mainly because they work for at least 3 big to semi-big indie promotions, plus special appearances for others, plus a cut of Bullet Club and other merch, plus their own shirt store at Prowrestlingtees website.

When they signed a new deal with ROH and NJPW, it was stated they were getting pay raises from whatever they were currently making just from those 2 places.

Quote:
Matt Jackson posted a video of him and his brother Nick Jackson signing their ROH and NJPW contracts. The deal is a two-year deal that will see pay increases in both 2017 and 2018. Their schedule will be similar to the schedule they are currently working.

According to F4WOnline, the deal is exclusive for US and Japan, but are able to schedule bookings elsewhere. The Young Bucks will also be allowed to participate at PWG events.
If their pay was actually low, they would have jumped to the WWE years ago. Bucks stated several times about they get paid more in the indies and get to travel less than what would be the case in the WWE.

NJPW supposedly also pays established indie names pretty well overall considering WWE had to spend over $1 million to nab Balor although that also included buying out his sponsorship deal(s).
