While the ICC does not publish the detailed salaries of these officials, it is believed that the umpires on the Elite Panel are paid an annual retainer alongside match fees. The annual retainer of Elite Panel umpires is presumed to be about $100,000, besides match fees, which are as follows: $5,000 for Tests, $3,000 for ODIs, and $1,500 for T20Is. This sum changes with other variables like experience, the number of matches officiated, and specific agreements with their respective boards.
