Believe it or not, compared to the men's team they are actually overpaid. Comparing pay from the last time both teams made the world cup. The FIFA paid the women 13% of revenues generated while the men only got 7% of revenues generated.
The issue is that the women do not generate the same revenue as the men do. The most recent cycle saw the World Cup in Russia produce $6 BILLION of which the teams participating shared $400 million or less than 7%. While the women's World Cup is expected to produce $131 million in which the teams participating share $30 million or over 22%.
Since 2008 US Soccer has paid only 12 players 1 million or more. Six men and six women. The highest paid man was $1.4 million and the highest woman was $1.2 million.
In the US the MLS averages a little over 20,000 per match while the top tier women's league averages around 7,000.
