MPs’ pay & pensions

We are responsible for setting and administering MPs’ pay and pensions, independently of both parliament and government.

You can find details of the annual basic salary paid to all MPs since we launched below.

You can also find information on additional salaries paid to MPs who chair Select Committees, and details of the MPs’ pension scheme.

Annual changes in MPs’ pay are linked to changes in average earnings in the public sector using Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures.

MPs who chair Select Committees, or who are members of the Panel of Chairs, are entitled to an additional salary. Since 2013, IPSA has had responsibility for determining these additional salaries.

Between March and May 2016, we conducted a consultation on these additional salaries. Read more about the outcome of the consultation.

On 30 March 2023, we published a revised MPs’ pension scheme following a consultation.

Read more about the MPs’ Pension Scheme and the Parliamentary Contributory Pension Fund, and in particular what our changes in response to McCloud might mean for you.

MPs with additional responsibilities (such as Government Ministers, or the Speaker of the House of Commons) may receive supplementary entitlements as a result of those roles. These additional entitlements are administered separately by other bodies.

Further information on these can be found on Parliament's website.

We are responsible for the European Parliamentary (United Kingdom Representatives) Pension Scheme, which closed to new entrants in 2009.

Our role is to review and amend the pension scheme rules where appropriate, and to appoint scheme managers. The scheme is administered by MyCSP and pension payments are made by XPS. If you are a deferred or pensioner member of the scheme and require information, please phone the MyCSP Contact Centre on 0300 123 6666, or on +44 1903 835902 from outside the UK, and ask to be transferred to the Specialist Processing Unit.

The Contact Centre is open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays from 8:30-18:00, and on Wednesdays from 09:00-18:00.
