Queensland Premier Campbell Newman's base salary now almost matches that of US President Barack Obama, following the pay rise the government awarded MPs last week.

Opposition leader Annastacia Palaszczuk released the new pay schedules of Queensland MPs on Tuesday, following the publication in the Member's Entitlement Handbook on Monday night.

Under the new pay schedule, Mr Newman will receive a base salary of $398,271, a $117,623 increase from what his salary was when he went on holidays just last week.

Before allowances, the president of the United States receives an annual salary of $400,000, while Prime Minister Kevin Rudd is paid about $470,000.
