While for most people making $300,000 a year would be a nice little salary, the cast of The Simpsons wasn’t satisfied with that amount per episode.  Instead, in their recent contract negotiations they asked for a $200,000 per episode raise from $300,000 to $500,000.  Instead, Fox met them halfway.

Also interesting from this development is that the voice of Homer, Dan Castellaneta, will also get a credit as a consulting producer.  The new $400,000 per episode salaries rank them as the highest paid sitcom stars currently on television, barely edging out Charlie Sheen’s $350,000 per episode.  However, it still leaves them far behind the cast of Friends and Ray Romano from Everybody Loves Raymond.
