At first you would imagine that Meeke and Tänak are making considerably more than Sordo and Paddon, but then again, Sordo probably has some Red Bull K€'s there included and Paddon might have some financial support coming from Oceania. For Meeke and Tänak, that figure could be more the baseline than anything else.
Btw, isn't Miika Wuorela (the writer) working for TGR? Somehow I think he's the one updating TGR WRC twitter account and writing the press releases or am I completely lost here?
In 2017 it was 2mil+ for Tänak, discussed even here. Taxes/without taxes and 2 mil. may come to that yes. Mikkelsen and Neuville live in Monaco, probably "pay" there also, so a huge addition from that already.
About the salaries: it probably varies from resource to another because there's so many ways to calculate it. With tax or without? With winning bonus or without? With expenses (co-driver salary, manager % etc) reduced or not? With sponsor money included or not? In case of Mikkelsen, Latvala and Ogier, with the previous contract salary applied or not?
However, I would consider Miika Wuorela as a very trustworthy journalist.

Where to even begin with this! After turning their nose up at privateer involvement in current cars, saying these drivers weren't worthy or didn't have the ability. Now the FIA are backtracking.
Not a surprise when the likes of M-Sport can't shift cars.
Also Nasser's Toyota deal isn't happening.
