Included. IPSA basic annual salary only, for every sitting House of Commons member in this Members API snapshot. Vacancies are omitted — this is not 650 seats.
Not included. Not full remuneration. Ministerial, opposition and most committee-chair uplifts, expenses, staffing budgets, Short money and pensions are not in this figure. This snapshot does not join those additional offices to named members, so we do not invent them into the total. Additional office salary: see IPSA.
Per-household and per-day lines are Watchtower divisions of the annual total above, not IPSA publications. Household divisor: 29.0 million UK households (2025 (ONS Families and households bulletin)). Labour Force Survey estimate of 29.0 million UK households in 2025 (bulletin released 17 April 2026). Used as the shared divisor for every £-per-household line.

Explain this numberCombined IPSA basic salaries
Sitting Commons members in this snapshot multiplied by the published IPSA basic annual salary. It is the aggregate of basic MP pay only — the same rate shown on each member page.
- Not full remuneration: ministerial, opposition and most chair uplifts are not included because this snapshot does not join those posts to named members.
- Not expenses, staffing budgets, Short money, or pensions.
- Member count is sitting MPs in the Members API snapshot, not the statutory 650 Commons seats (vacancies are omitted).
- £ per UK household and £ per calendar day are derived illustrations, not official IPSA publications.
