FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the easyJet captain salary in 2026?

easyJet captain pay is estimated at about $188K per year, pre-tax. These are our own estimates from public information, not figures the airline publishes.

What is the easyJet first officer salary?

easyJet first officer pay is estimated at about $94K per year, pre-tax, rising with seniority.

What are the requirements to become an easyJet pilot?

Captain / First Officer — European route flying. Choice of multiple bases. Key requirements: Required license: UK CAA / EASA ATPL; English: ICAO Level 4 or above; Type rating: A320 family (company may cover training costs in some cases). easyJet’s pilot recruitment page asks type-rated first officers for at least 500 hours on the A320. Under the easyJet GenX program, some courses have the company cover the type-rating cost (conditions apply).

What is the easyJet pilot salary per month?

Dividing our estimated annual figures by 12, easyJet captains earn about $16K a month and first officers about $7.9K. What actually lands each month moves with block hours flown, and where an annual bonus is paid the regular monthly figure sits lower with a spike in the bonus month.

What is the easyJet pilot pay scale?

We estimate easyJet first officers at $94K and captains at $188K — a step of about $94K, or roughly 2.0×. The actual figure moves with seniority, type rating and the routes you fly.

Is the easyJet pilot salary before or after tax?

Every figure on this page is gross, before income tax. We estimate captains at $188K and first officers at $94K pre-tax, and income tax, social insurance and any local levies come out of that. Take-home depends on where you are resident and on your own deductions, so no single percentage applies. Airlines based in countries with no personal income tax — the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia — leave more of the same gross figure in your hand.
