Crowns are paid on a public salary grid that rises with each year of service. In Ontario the grid runs from roughly $90,000 to roughly $230,000. The federal grid runs from $93,000 for a first-year counsel to $228,000 for senior counsel (2025). Smaller provinces run lower at the top. Nobody gets a bonus.
