The
 average cost per episode is around $6 million. The Battle of Blackwater
 Bay episode costed around $8 million. So for a season having 10 
episode, we are looking around at a budget of $60 million- $70 million. 
So that’s the expenditure of HBO per season of The Game of Thrones.
Now
 for the income, HBO subscription charges are about $10 per subscription
 per month. According to the stats around 30–40 million people are 
subscribed to it, so that makes the monthly income of HBO around $300 
million to $400 million and that’s just the subscription income. Each 
season of GoT runs for 10 weeks, which is about 2 and a half months. 
Therefore you require at least 3 months subscription to watch it. That 
makes the income $900 million to $1.2 billion.
A
 good chunk of its income also comes from selling of DVDs and show 
merchandise like t-shirts, hoodies, prop swords and armours and other 
collectibles. Each season DVD of GoT sells for $60 on the HBO website. 
So if someone wants the complete series till now he has to spend $420. 
If even 1 million people buy DVDs, that’s $420 million straight into 
HBO’s pockets.
