Pinkins, hired from Texas Tech to replace departed UF associate coach Dusty May, is being paid a $305,000 base salary and a $10,000 Nike apparel bonus.
Nichols and Mincy will each make $295,000 next season (a $285,000 base salary plus $10,000 Nike bonus). Mincy was bumped up from a $227,000 salary in 2017-18, while Nichols was bumped up from a $206,000 salary.
Nichols and Mincy have been with Florida coach Mike White since he was hired in 2015 and have been part of a staff that reached the Elite Eight in 2017 and Round of 32 of the NCAA Tournament last season.
Pinkins was making $200,000 in 2016-17 at Texas Tech, however no salary information was available from what he made with the Red Raiders last season.
All three UF assistants are eligible to make a $1,500 bonus in September based on basketball player academic performance as well.
