Annual budgets, costs and claims

Each year we publish data on MPs’ total staffing and business costs for the previous financial year. You can download all the data in a spreadsheet using the options below.

Total spend

This represents MPs’ spending against each of their budgets – including office costs, staffing, accommodation, and travel – for each financial year. The maximum budgets available to each MP were not published before 2013-14.

Other financial data – salaries, staffing, and loans

This annual data includes MPs’ salaries, London-area living payments (LALP), information about connected parties employed by MPs, and MPs’ staff job titles and salary ranges.

It also details any reward and recognition payments made by MPs to their staff, any deposit loans MPs have had with IPSA and any written-off debts.

Details of loss-of-office payments (LOOP) are also included. Since 2017 LOOP has been paid to MPs who had held their seats for a continuous period of at least two years and who lost their seats in a General Election but did not stand down.

Also included are any resettlement payments made. MPs who lost their seats in the May 2015 General Election were eligible for a resettlement payment of up to six months annual salary unless they had stood down.

Individual business costs

This data – released and updated every two months – includes details of all publishable claims for all MPs for a financial year. Some information is withheld for reasons of security or data protection. The spreadsheets available for the two most recent financial years might not yet reflect the final positions for those years.
