Though neither had a lot of screen time in "The Force Awakens," both had salaries in the millions for the movie, and those will rise as their involvement in the upcoming films grows. According to Variety, Disney instituted a "legacy pay scale" in 2014 before casting the new roles so talent from the original trilogy would have a bump compared to the new actors.
Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac: Mid-to-high six-figures

From the new cast, Adam Driver and Oscar Isaac reportedly landed on the high side for salaries. This is because of their previous TV and movie work, which gives them fixed rates (Isaac has been in "Inside Llewyn Davis" and "Ex Machina," among others; Driver has worked on "Lincoln," HBO's "Girls," and more).
John Boyega and Daisy Ridley: $100,000-$300,000

Though they are the leads in this global blockbuster, because they are relatively new to major movies, they were treated as such on their pay stubs, according to Variety. This is the first movie of this scale by far that either "Force Awakens" actor has done. Get most of the screen time but get paid the least? Yes, Hollywood is a tough business.
