Our congressional staff salary data comes from the official records of the House and Senate. We currently have House salary data for the period covering October 1, 2000 to June 30, 2020 and Senate data from October 1, 2000 to March 31, 2020.

The salary disclosures section reflects gross salary payments made during the periods shown. The salary analysis section uses this salary payment data to estimate and analyze annual salary rates – that is, the salary a staff member would receive for a particular position if that position were held for an entire year.
