Answer
They are compensated well for the show. All you have to do is watch it eg. at least 5 vacations a year, tractors, excavator, bulldozer, house remodel, house extension, antique cars lots of them, Swimming Pools and lots more. Do you honestly think that a 34 acre farm could support all this? They say Matt was so great at his software sales job and made great income from it the truth is they fired him for being a useless salesman. Then there is the extra income Matt and Amy do motivational speeches Matt gets $7500 for every speech Amy's patrons pay $40/person. Then what about the in show advertising eg. wii, screw drivers, paintball gear and many more. Matt is advertising for Viking pools on YouTube as well. On top of all this they more than likely get paid a lump sum per episode. Answer
I would have to say yes. who in their right mind would go through what they do, and show what they show and not get paid (opinion only). Think about it is Matt and Amy RICH? who pays for all the projects Matt starts but never seems to finish? most people have a hard just making the basic payment on their credit cards but the Roloffs seem to be able to do more than the average family; it would be interesting to know their credit score because they have to have the highest that one can get in order to get the money to do the things they do.
Answer
Without a doubt. On top of that, all the paid promotions they get only adds to their return. It's not hard to see all the product placement in the shows, ... some of which can add up to be a lot, like their vehicle that drives them around the farm -- they definitely got that gratis, that's why you'll always hear them mention it or see a full logo shot. Matt Roloff sure loves Crispix and the Twins love Mt Dew... i wonder if they get free Crispix & Mt Dew?
One WikiAnswerers Opinion
I would say between 50,000 and 60,000 per episode.
A boatload of coin!! In fact they say that Matt can buy a new kind of tractor every week if he wanted to! It is also rumored that since he and his wife go to Maui every other week, he may just buy the island. Let me tell you this: Those pumpkins they sell must go for about 18 dollars a pound.

Too much
Yes. How much? There is no record. However, it was a popular show for 5 years and TLC earned quite a bit off its production. Considering the boobs on Jersey Shore get $60,000 per episode, and the Gosselins reportedly earned between $65,000 and 1 million per episode, I would think the Roloffs had be in that neighborhood.
