The stars’ salaries vary wildly, with Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia raking in the most at $85,000 per episode.

Emmy winner Sterling K. Brown makes $75,000, and Justin Hartley and Chrissy Metz get just $40,000 each.

“The cast has gotten together and are demanding a huge pay increase,” an insider claimed. “They now consider themselves an ensemble, like the actors on ‘Friends,’ [who] earned $1 million per episode.

“But when you deliver the numbers these guys are getting, they are worth every single penny!”
