You don't have to pay upkeep for the FMs' bodyguard (save for a few exceptions).

Did you place Level IV Governements in your conquests? Because that is different: you'll have to pay for the upkeep of the puppet leaders' bodyguards.

That was my thought too, but Siruso wrote "army upkeep", not "wages". AFAIK, them CRs Bodyguards are under the wages in the budget.

The wages are extra. You have to pay wages for your FM bodyguards too. I think, but don't know for sure, that diplomats and spies are paid by wages as well. If the bodyguard has an additional upkeep it is listed under "army upkeep".

In the unit infoscreen, there's a row with "upkeep". Well, both FMs & CRs have 0 upkeep for their Bodyguards, yet there's some money to pay. I'm not 100% sure, but I think all that money you pay for those bodyguard units are under wages.

... and yes: diplomats, spies & assasins are listed under "wages".

As far as I know, bodyguards don't get paid. The amount of bodyguard has no effect on FM's wages. From what I know, all the FMs and other generals get a fixed payment, which doesn't change on any circumstance, except death.
