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 2010-frozen levels (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 double-counting. 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 IPSA-reimbursed business costs for 2024 / 2025 (staff, office, accommodation, travel, other). This is notpersonal income. Drill into any MP's profile for the line-item breakdown.
