In the UK, MPs (members of Parliament) earn £84,144 (approximately 98,000 euros). They can also claim quite a lot of expenses (travel between the area they represent and London and accommodation in London).

  1. members of parliament get 3700-5700eu, gross monthly

    prime minister gets around 6000eu, gross monthly

    regular ministers get around 5000eu, gross monthly

    the president gets around 5400eu, gross monthly

    don’t know about travel expenses, also I just googled all this info

  2. Technically they don’t have salary in norway, but something called “godtgjørelse” (allowance ?) , because being a parlamentarian is a position, not a job.

    President of parliament (2nd in rank after the king) : 1.869.761 NOK (ca. 180.000 Euros)

    Prime minister : 1.869.761 NOK (ca. 180.000 Euros)

    Members of cabinet/government : 1.518.999 NOK (ca. 150.000 Euros)

    Member of parliament : 1.064.318 NOK (ca. 100.000 Euros)

    In addition to this they have several benefits… one of them is access to housings/apparartment of which many norwegian politicians has falsely evaded paying tax for the benefit.. being caught and now having to pay penalty taxes.. Guess 38 out of the 169 members of parliament got their penalty tax in october this year..

  3. The 2022 basic emolument for a MP is 71’500 kronor (≈ 6’570 €) per month, or 858’000 kronor (≈ 78’900 €) per year, before tax.

    But since many have additional assignments they get an additional emolument.

    A member who is the chairman of a committee or the EU board, for example, has a supplement of 20 percent,the vice-chairman has a supplement of 15 percent, and the vice-speaker has a supplement of 30 percent.

    The Speaker and Prime Minster emolument is 184’000 kronor (≈ 16’900 €) per month, or 2’208’000 kronor (≈ 203’000 €) per year, before tax.

  4. members of parliament ([2021](https://www.rtl.de/cms/diaeten-im-bundestag-so-viel-verdienen-kanzler-minister-abgeordnete-erhoehung-im-juli-2022-4718417.html)): ~10000 € + expenses ~5000 € = 15000 €

    chancellor: ~ 20000 € + half of “members of parliament” = 30000 €

    all per month, and they can have addional incomes by their jobs outside of parliament

    as a comparison: average monthly income of a worker (working fulltime): ~4000 € minus taxes an stuff

  5. Not that much concerned about that, but more the permanent pay they get afterwards. Tired of seeing MP getting replaced and getting a pension for one month of “not work”. Not to mention the shady deals with private interests.
