The important part if you don't want to click through.

NBA referees are paid based on years of service, with the top guys making upwards of $500,000 per season and the “rookies” making anywhere from $150 to 250k, so it’s not bad work if you can get it.

In the 2022-23 season, veterans like James Capers, Sean Corbin, Tony Brothers and Scott Foster topped referees in salaries at $550,000 or around $7k for regular-season games, $9k for playoffs and up to $30k for games in the NBA Finals.
