He's picked up the latest contract offer on the back of strong performances for Wellington, and the Black Caps one day side over the summer.
Young gets a central contract for the first time after impressing with the Central Stags and New Zealand A, as does Blundell, who played two Tests and two T20s for the national side a couple of years ago and has been named in the World Cup squad.
Under the contracts the top ranked player, in all likelihood skipper Kane Williamson, earns a base fee of $239, 540.
The bottom payment for players ranked 18-20 is $101,500.
On top of that the players earn $9000 per test, $4000 per one day international and $2,500 for Twenty20 matches.
"Jimmy had a very good season and made excellent progress with Wellington, New Zealand A and the Black Caps. He's made every post a winning one," said selection manager Gavin Larsen.
"Will receives an offer on the basis of the sheer weight of runs he scored last season, both for New Zealand A and the Central Stags.
"He would've received his first Test cap in March had it not been for the match being cancelled because of the Christchurch attack.
"Tom has acted as a back-up for BJ Watling on the tour of UAE, has recently played for New Zealand A and is in the World Cup squad as the wicket-keeping understudy for Tom Latham.
