House staffers' median annual salary grew by 21% last year, LegiStorm data finds

Posted by Keturah Hetrick on March 13, 2023

Despite personal offices spending a smaller proportion of their office budgets, House staffers' median annual salaries grew by 21% last year.

House staffers brought home a median of $72,200 last year, including any end-of-year bonuses, according to a LegiStorm analysis of staffer pay in personal offices. In 2021, the median pay was $59,600.

Some of the lowest-paid positions received higher-than-average pay bumps: Staff assistants saw their median salary rise from $41,000 to $51,315 (25%); research assistants' median salary grew from $39,200 to $50,500 (29%).

Median pay for chiefs of staff increased from $159,700 to $177,300 (11%).

These figures are for personal-office staffers only and does not include staffers working for committees or leadership offices.

House personal offices received a 21% increase to the Members' Representational Allowance for 2022. While the average office disclosed spending only 84% of its budget for the year (down from 95% in 2021), it spent $170,000 more on staffer compensation in 2022 than in 2021.
