The Office: How much did Rainn Wilson make per episode?
Wilson was a fan favourite on The Office as Dwight Schrute, a salesman and Michael Scott’s assistant at Dunder Mifflin. After The Office, Wilson went on to star in CBS’ Mom and Star Trek: Discovery.
Like other supporting cast members, his salary for the first three seasons was likely around $20,000 per episode before a raise to $100,000 for the fourth season.
Also like Krasinski and Fischer, it’s unclear what Wilson made for the final seasons of the sitcom, but if he did keep his $100,000 per episode salary, he would’ve netted a paycheck of around $2.8 million each season. His net worth is $14 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Wilson was cast as Dwight Schrute, a neurotic office worker in the network series The Office. He was nominated for an Emmy for Best Supporting Actor in 2007, 2008, and 2009.
He won two SAG awards for best comedy ensemble in the series. In addition to acting in the series, Wilson also directed three episodes: season 6’s “The Cover-Up”, season 7’s “Classy Christmas”, and season 8’s “Get the Girl”.
