I'm sorry for resurecting this thread out of hell, but how much would a lead in a non Union tour make?

It'll be on the notice. I believe on the non-union tour of Mamma Mia! for example, it was roughly $500/week minimum. For comparison sake, the equity minimum on a production contract is a hair over $1900/week minimum.

So if an equity lead makes 5000 then a non Union lead would make 1316?

No, it is highly unlikely that you would ever find a producer willing to pay that much to a non-Equity actor. There is no direct correlation between Equity salaries and non-Equity salaries.
The thing you have to watch out for when looking at non-Equity casting notices that appear to have an unusually high salary is that often the producers will roll the salary and the per diem into one sum for the purposes of the casting notice, which creates the effect of looking like they are paying a much higher salary than they are in reality.

No non-Equity tour would pay so much substantially more than an Equity contract. The main reason non-Equity tours exist is to cut costs on the increasingly non-profitable touring market, which means paying actors less.

Here in Canada, the Equity standard salary is an absolute minimum of $580 a week.

I love when a thread is resurrected that contains posts from Margo Channing. She was an encyclopedia of knowledge and insight.

Where are you getting your information that the touring market is increasingly non-profitable, is it from the producers themselves who have everything to gain by saying they are not making any money?
We in Equity see huge profits for non-Union tours. Ticket prices are at an all time high. Attendance on the road is up. The reason for using non-Union actors in First National Tours is simple greed on the part of producers. The non-Union Natl of Annie is even playing in NYC this month and it is causing outrage since it is directed by Martin Charnin. It will play in a Union House, only the actors will not be paid Union Minimums ... in New York City!
