Game Fee High School Level

I'm interested in getting feed back from High School Level Umpires from different States regarding the amount of game fee they receive. In Texas we finally received a long over due increase and were told we now were the highest paid in the USA. I don't necessary agree, so I'm asking for your feed back.
Strikes get you outs, outs get you home early.
Thanks In Advance.

You need to account for travel fees (if any) and assigner fees (if taken from the umpire's check) to make a valid comparison.

In the Chicago area, I think it's $60, no travel, no assigner's fee (the school pays the assigner directly).

I think highest in the country may be tough there are some in NY making $100+ a game. In the region maybe in New Mexico we get $51 a game and have not had a raise in about 5 years

I know when I worked in Long Island we were getting $98/game. That was at least 15 years ago.

In Massachusetts, HS varsity fee is $78. There is no compensation for travel, nor are there assigner fees.

We are typically paid from $60 to $65. The occasional school still pays $50 to $55, but those are becoming rare and I usually don't work those (not because of the money disparity). Rural schools and conferences pay mileage, but I don't work those schools for baseball.

When I work basketball at those schools, I've walked away with as much as $125, including mileage. Conference mileage policies lead to interesting situations where I've driven past schools where I'd receive $100 to work to work a school that only pays $60 cause they don't pay mileage.

It's now $121 for V, $102 for JV and $84.50 for JH. No assigning fees, no compensation for travel (although we rarely have to travel more than 20 miles to a game).

Wow, thats unbelieveable but, I also understand that it probably equal to round trip gas and tolls into the city.

South of Albany, New York is $100+ per game for varsity, topping out at around $120 for a regular season game. There is no travel fee for the most part, unless an umpire goes into another territory to work.

Gas is about $3.85/gal. No tolls.
