from How Much Do US Ambassadors Get Paid?
Salaries for ambassadors vary significantly based on a number of factors.
Ambassadors are the personal representatives of the President of the United States abroad. They are chosen by the President with the support and guidance of the State department. Candidates are chosen either from the ranks of the U.S. Foreign Service within the State Department, or they are personally recommended. All ambassador candidates must be approved by the receiving country, then approved by Senate Foreign Relations Committee and finally, confirmed by a full Senate vote. As with all government employees, ambassador salaries are subject to assigned pay grades, although base salaries can be significantly augmented by other compensation.
Nomination Process
The Foreign Service Act of 1980 states that preference should be given to “career members of the Service." As of July 2012, roughly 70 percent of all ambassadors were promoted from within the Foreign Service, while 30 percent were political appointees. Once the candidate has been nominated, it can take weeks or even months before the confirmation hearing and Senate vote takes place. It can take even longer if the Senate is deadlocked on the candidate. In some cases the President might have to replace a deadlocked candidate with another one.
Basic Salary Range
Ambassadors are classified as senior foreign service employees. The 2010 through 2012 minimum pay for ambassadors is $119,554 a year. The maximum is $179,700. The State Department is one of many governmental agencies that have adopted a certified performance appraisal system. This system allows an ambassador's base salary to exceed the established maximum based on merit or value to the mission, but it may not go over the salary set for the Vice President of the United States, which was $230,700 a year as of 2011.

Allowances
In addition to base pay, an ambassador can receive various allowances based on different factors in the country where she is stationed. A cost of living allowance is based on how expensive the country is to live in compared to the United States. A hardship allowance is based on a rating of the standard of amenities available compared to that of the United States. Danger pay is based on how dangerous the country is to live in. For example, the ambassador to Afghanistan does not get a cost of living allowance because the cost of living in Afghanistan is less than in the United States. But he does get a hardship allowance of 35% of his basic salary and another 35% for danger pay. In contrast, the ambassador to France living in Paris gets a cost of living allowance of 60% of his base salary, but does not get hardship or danger pay allowances.
Other Compensation
Ambassadors are given special residences that they live in free of charge. They also get a range of other benefits, including government subsidized healthcare insurance, life insurance and five weeks of vacation time per year, which includes paid airfare to and from their vacation destination. Ambassadors are also compensated for educational expenses for their family. The amount they receive depends upon the country where they are stationed. For instance, the ambassador to Denmark receives $23,500 a year for each child he has in grades K-5, $21,800 for grades 6 through 8; $23,600 for grades 9 and 10; and $56,400 for grades 11 and 12. In New Zealand, the annual education allowance is $58,900 per child, regardless of grade.
