White soldiers were paid $13 per month while black soldiers were paid $10 with a $3 deduction for clothing, resulting in a net pay of $7. To answer your question, then; black soldiers were paid $6 dollars less than white soldiers, almost half as much.

This was ended with the equal pay act passed by Congress in June, 1864 where it was stipulated that black soldiers would receive the same pay, supplies, etc. as white soldiers.
