2022 Legislative compensation
  “Annually, NCSL collects legislative salary, mileage reimbursement and per diem information from all 50 states.  In 2022, NCSL also collected data from Washington D.C. and the territories.  This information is presented in the table below. Every other year, NCSL conducts a broader survey on legislative compensation, including information on office supplies and benefits.  This more extensive survey was last completed in 2021.”  (bold added).

 
2023 Legislative compensation
“Legislative compensation varies across legislatures.  The lowest annual state legislator salary in 2023 was $100 and the highest annual state legislator salary in 2023 was $142,000.  In 2023, the average annual base salary for a state legislator was $43,494.  This represents a 6% increase in average annual legislator base salary since 2022.  However, salary is only one component of legislator compensation.  Each year, NCSL collects data from all 50 states, the U.S. territories, and Washington D.C. on legislative salaries and per diems.  This year, NCSL conducted a broader survey to learn more about additional compensation for legislative leaders, insurance and retirement benefits, and office and staffing allowances in additional (sic) to regular compensation.  The tables linked to below provide nationwide data for each of these categories.” (bold and italics added).
