MP earnings vs public spend
The 50 highest-paid current MPs ranked by personal earnings. Personal earnings are money the MP actually receives: base salary, ministerial supplement, and declared outside earnings. Public spend is a separate column showing what IPSA reimburses for staff, office, travel and accommodation; it does notgo into the MP's pocket.

Methodology
Base salary: £98,599 from 1 April 2026, applied to every sitting MP regardless of attendance.
Ministerial supplement: paid on top of the base salary at levels frozen since 2010 (PM £75,440 claimed of £80,807 entitlement, Cabinet Minister £72,310, Minister of State £33,346, Parliamentary Under-Secretary £25,277). An MP holding two ministerial posts is only paid the highest single band.
Outside earnings: extracted by regex from the “Employment and earnings” category of the Register of Members' Financial Interests. Only entries with an explicit “Payment: £X” pattern are summed; ranges (“£200 to £500”) and unbanded entries are excluded, so the figure is a conservative lower bound. Corrections and amendments are skipped to avoid counting anything twice. Many MPs declare interests without payment amounts (ongoing salaried roles, share interests, family employment) and these will not appear here.
Public spend: total of all business costs reimbursed by IPSA for 2024 / 2025 (staff, office, accommodation, travel, other). This is notpersonal income. Drill into any MP's profile for the line-item breakdown.
