Premier Daniel Andrews will become Australia's top-earning state leader after Victorian politicians received their second pay rise for the year.

Andrews will enjoy an 11.8 per cent rise in the state pay review announced on Tuesday, lifting his annual salary to $441,439 by July 2020.

That is more than NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, who according to 2019 parliamentary documents earns just more than $400,000.

The increase is part of a wider review of the state's parliamentary pay packets, which hands them their second pay rise for the year.

It boosts the "basic salary" of an MP by 3.5 per cent to $182,413, which is above the $169,000 base salary of NSW politicians.

The fatter pay packets kicked in on Tuesday when the Victorian Independent Remuneration Tribunal announced its calculations, partly based on "what happens in other Australian jurisdictions".

It's the first time the tribunal has been responsible for setting parliamentary pay and comes as the government offers an increase of two per cent to most public sector workers.

"Some important changes have been made which aim to simplify the system and bring Victoria more in line with other states and community expectations," tribunal chair Warren McCann said.
