Tom Selleck’s exact Blue Bloods salary—and the cast’s individual pay—has not been publicly confirmed in the sources available. Selleck did say the cast accepted a 25% salary cut in the show’s final year, but he did not disclose the dollar amount. A 2016 report’s estimate of more than $200,000 per episode was explicitly speculative, not a verified contract figure.
What is known about Selleck’s Blue Bloods pay?
In a July 30, 2026 report about his appearance on Ted Danson’s podcast Where Everybody Knows Your Name, Selleck was quoted describing the final season: “We’d already taken a 25% cut in salary.” The statement provides a percentage reduction, not his original salary or his pay after the cut. It also does not establish what other cast members earned. Just Jared’s report attributes the comment to Selleck.
How much was he paid per episode?
No confirmed per-episode salary is established by the available reporting. In 2016, TV Guide reported that figures for Selleck’s Season 7 deal had not been disclosed, then estimated that he would probably make more than $200,000 per episode. That was an outlet estimate, not a reported contract term; it should not be treated as a confirmed amount or carried forward to later seasons. TV Guide’s 2016 report makes that distinction clear.
What did the rest of the Blue Bloods cast earn?
There are no substantiated cast-by-cast salary figures in the available sources, so a reliable ranking or total for the ensemble cannot be given. The Daily Beast reported in February 2026 that Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg were among cast members and producers who accepted the final-season reduction. Its account does not give individual salary amounts. The Daily Beast’s report also discusses the show’s cancellation, but does not establish that cast salaries alone caused it.

Why the series’ run does not reveal anyone’s earnings
Blue Bloods was a CBS crime drama about Frank Reagan and a multigenerational New York law-enforcement family. CBS lists 14 seasons, with the Season 14 episode guide ending in “End of Tour,” dated December 13, 2024. A separate CBS finale preview, aired December 14, described the cast reflecting on 14 years and 293 episodes. Those figures establish the scale and duration of the series, not the cast’s compensation. CBS’s series page and finale preview provide the show details.

A salary for one television series would not by itself establish an actor’s personal net worth, which is a separate figure and is not verified here. The available reports do not support a precise total for Selleck’s Blue Bloods earnings, the cast’s combined earnings, or any cast member’s net worth. CBS’s 2024 interview listing pairs Selleck’s discussion of the series with his memoir, You Never Know, but it does not provide salary information. Watch the CBS interview listing.
