The President is paid $400,000 a year. The first family can also set up an outside fund through the White House Historical Association to help cover additional costs.

(In some cases, friends setup a fund for the president's use---do not know if Obama has this source of funds--probably has).

Presidential travel and health care are covered, though not with a specific amount.

$100,000 is given each term for decorating the residence and the Oval Office.

Using the White House medical unit, or an appointed civilian doctor, if the president chooses, does not come with a charge, and prescriptions also are free for the first familyg.

The first family pays for all of their personal food - (their personal meals, not state dinners, etc). The president gets a bill for his personal family meals.
