Dividing our estimated annual figures by 12, Norwegian Air Shuttle (Norwegian) captains earn about $12K a month and first officers about $5.9K. 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.

Every figure on this page is gross, before income tax. We estimate captains at $139K and first officers at $71K 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.
