Before that, he was paid $75,000 for each episode, along with the rest of the young cast members. Buzzfeed reported that Gould earned $25,0000 for each season 1 episode.

"I'm going to be unemployed for the first time in eleven years."

ABC News reported that Gould put money aside so he wouldn't have to worry about finances when thinking about what to do next. Since he earned a high salary from Modern Family for so many years, he was definitely in good shape when the series finale aired in 2020.
