When they sign a contract after getting drafted, many players get bonuses. In the early rounds, bonuses can be several millon dollars. There may also be other expenses negotiated into the contract, like education. However, once players are playing in the minors, their actual salaries are the same by level:
In the first year, a class A-short season player is paid $850/month. The pay increases by minor league level, so that a first-year player in triple-A makes $2150/month. After the first year, salaries are negotiable, but the player can be paid no less than the first year numbers.
Here's the full list:
First contract season: $850/month maximum.
Alien Salary Rates: Different for aliens on visas – mandated by INS
Triple-A – First year: $2,150/month, after first year no less than $2,150/month
Class AA – First year: $1,500/month, after first year no less than $1,500/month
Class A (full season) – First year: $1,050/month, after first year no less than $1,050/month
Class A (short-season) – First year: $850/month, after first year no less than $850/month
Dominican & Venezuelan Summer Leagues–no lower than $300/month

It depends on their contract just like in the Majors but always far less than in the majors. Most make $20,000 or so for playing 6 months of the year. So most of them have off season jobs at lumber yards and stuff.
