That's $600,000 for seasons three and four. For seasons 5 and 6, 37 episodes, he earned $30,000 per episode, $1.11 million for the period. For the remainder of the series, 62 episodes in which he appeared, James earned $40,000 per episode. That's $2.48 million for the seasons.
Add it all up and James Michael Tyler earned $4.65 million playing Gunther in "Friends", which after adjusting slightly for inflation is the same as around $6.3 million in today's dollars. Since Friends was a SAG show, James likely also earned a decent chunk of money in the first year the show was sold into syndication in the form of royalties. Perhaps another $1-2 million.
