Depends where you go of course, and it is lower while you are restricted.
*For example* , I know of one place that is £12 per flying hour and £10 a day retainer. No flying for the day means you only earn £10 for the day...
Once you are unrestricted then it went up to £15 per flying hour, then it would go up again once you can teach commercial level (500hrs instructing reached).
But a place in Luxembourg quoted me some £1500 a month, you CAN live off that, but your hard pressed to live off the former.

Here in the UK, about £10,000 to £12,000 average for a new instructor, normally paid piecemeal on a retainer + flying hours basis. You don't fly and you don't eat, basically. If you're willing to bond/fork out extra for things like IMC and CPL instructor later on in the career, you might just scrape as much money as a junior turboprop F/O after a few years
