Staff Pay, Selected Positions in House MemberMembers Offices, 2001-2023
Congressional Research Service 1
Introduction
Levels of pay for congressional staff are a source of recurring questions among Members of Congress, congressional staff, and the public. Members of the House of Representatives typically set the terms and conditions of employment for staff in their offices. These include job titles, duties, and rates of pay, subject to minimum and maximum levels.1 There may be interest in congressional pay data from multiple perspectives, including assessment of the costs of congressional operations; guidance in setting pay levels for staff in Member offices; or comparison of congressional staff pay levels with those of other federal government pay systems.
Publicly available resources do not provide aggregated congressional staff pay data in a readily retrievable form. Pay information in this report is based on the Statement of Disbursements of the House (SOD),2 published quarterly by the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO),3 as collated by LegiStorm. Data in this report are based on official House reports of specific staff positions. Additionally, this report provides annual data, which allows for observations about the nature of House Member staff compensation over time.
This report provides pay data for 1716 staff position titles that are typically used in House Members’ offices. The positions include the following:
Caseworker Chief of Staff Communications Director Constituent Services Director Constituent Services Representative Deputy Chief of Staff
District Deputy Director District Director Field Representative Legislative Assistant Legislative Correspondent
Legislative Director
Operations Director Press Secretary Scheduler Senior Legislative Assistant Staff Assistant
The collection of House Members’ staff pay data for the years 2001-20232025 proceeded as follows. For each year, a random sample4 of 45 offices was taken for each position. House staff had to hold a position with the same job title in the Member’s office for the entire calendar year examined, and not receive pay from any other congressional employing authority to be included. Generally, each position has no more than one observation per House Member’s office each year.
Every recorded payment ascribed in the LegiStorm data to those staff for the calendar year is included. Data collected for this report may differ from an employee’s stated annual salary due to the inclusion of overtime, bonuses, or other payments5 in addition to base salary paid in the course of a year.
1 Effective December 30, 2022January 17, 2025, the maximum annual pay for House staff, a figure that has increased over time, is $212,100the equivalent of Level II of the Executive Schedule, $228,000 for 2026. A minimum salary of $45,000 per year was also established. See Order of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, December 30, 2022January 17, 2025, set out as a note following 2 U.S.C. 4532. Maximum payable rates for House Member office staff since 2001 are available in Table 1.
2 In this report, pay refers to monies paid by the House to staff, and excludes other components of total compensation, which might include paid leave or employer contributions to various insurance and retirement benefits.
3 Volumes of the Statement of Disbursements since July 2009 are available at http://disbursements.house.gov/.
4 Each year, a different, random sample of Members’ offices was taken for each position. A study that examines pay data based on different job titles, or which combines pay data from positions of similar titles or presumptive duties (e.g., legislative aide, legislative assistant and senior legislative assistant, or executive assistants, schedulers, office managers, and executive assistant/schedulers), or estimates of pay using different data collection criteria, could result in findings that are different from those provided here.
5 For each year, the SOD reports pay data for five time periods: January 1 and 2; January 3-March 31; April 1-June 30; July 1-September 30; and October 1-December 31. The aggregate pay of those five periods equals the annual pay of a (continued...)

For some positions, it was not possible to identify 45 employees who held that title for the entire year. This report provides no data on positions with 16 or fewer identifiable staff.
The Congressional Research Service provides a number of products on congressional staffing issues. These can be found in CRS Report R44688, Congressional Staff: CRS Productsmatters. These include CRS Report R44322, House Committee Staff Pay, Selected Positions, 2001-2025; CRS Report R44324, Staff Pay, Selected Positions in Senators’ Offices, FY2001- FY2025; CRS Report R44325, Senate Committee Staff Pay, Selected Positions, FY2001-FY2025; and CRS Report R46262, Congressional Staff: Duties and Qualifications Identified by Members of Congress for Selected Positions.
Data Concerns
There may be some advantages to relying on official salary expenditure data instead of survey findings, but data presented here are subject to some challenges that could affect the findings or their interpretation. Some of the concerns include the following:
• There are no data for first-term Members in the first session of a Congress. Authority to use the Member Representational Allowance (MRA) for the previous year expires January 2, and new MRA authority begins on January 3 when new Members elected in general elections typically take office.
• The SOD reports monies paid directly by the House to staff, but does not provide the individual value of other components of compensation, which might include paid leave or employer contributions to various insurance and retirement benefits.
• Pay data provide no insight into the education, work experience, position, office, congressional tenure, and full- or part-time status of staff, or other potential explanations for levels of compensation.
• Data do not differentiate between staff based in Washington, DC, district offices, or both.
• Member offices that do not utilize any of the 1716 job position titles, or whose pay data were not reported consistently, are excluded.
• Potential differences could exist in the job duties of positions with the same title. Aggregation of pay by job title rests in part on the assumption that staff with the same title carry out similar tasks. Given the wide discretion congressional employing authorities have in setting the terms and conditions of employment, there may be differences in the duties of similarly titled staff that could have effects on their levels of pay.
Data Tables and Visualizations
Tables in this section provide background information on House pay practices, comparative data for each position, and detailed pay data and visualizations for each position. Table 1 provides the maximum payable rates for House Member staff since 2001 in both nominal (current) and constant 2024 dollars. Constant dollar calculations throughout the report are based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) for various years.
Table 2 provides available percentage changes in median pay in 2024 dollars for 17 positions; for Members of Congress; and for salaries paid under the General Schedule in Washington, DC, and
congressional staff member. The brief reporting period accommodates accounting of the MemberMembers’ Representational Allowance (MRA), which authorizes expenditures from January 3 to January 2 of the following year. Other forms of payment do not appear to be recorded in a consistent manner. Sometimes overtime and other pay is listed as separate entries, and in other instances, significant one-time changes in a quarterly total might suggest payments in addition to regular salary.

House Member Office Staff Pay Tables
Interpreting Pay T ables: Statistics Describing Pay Data
For each year that data are available, statistical values for staff positions are included in Table 3-Table 1918, including the following:
Minimum & Maximum The smallest and largest pay level, respectively, for each position.
Average (Mean) The mean is the average of a list of numbers, in which the sum of all the values is divided by the total number of values. For example, if three salaries, $30,000, $45,000, and $90,000, were identified for a given staff position, the average (mean) would be ($30,000 + $45,000 + $90,000) ÷ 3 = $55,000.
Median The midpoint at which half of the numbers in a list are higher and the other half lower. For example, if three salaries, $30,000, $45,000, and $90,000, were identified for a given staff position, the midpoint (median) would be $45,000.
Statistical Quartiles Statistical values that divide data into quarters. In a list of numbers, Quartile 1 (Q1) is a number that falls in the middle between the lowest number, or minimum, and the median. For example, if Q1 for a given staff position was $50,000, this would indicate that 25% of employees in that position make $50,000 or less. Quartile 2 (Q2) is also the median. Quartile 3 (Q3) is a number that falls in the middle between the median and the highest number in the list, or maximum. Numbers between Q1 and Q3 compose the interquartile range, the difference between the largest and smallest values in the middle 50% of a list of numbers. Quartiles might also be described as percentiles, as shown below.
