U.S. Senators earn a salary of $174,000 annually, as of March 2014. Congressional salaries do increase from time to time. Members of the House of Representatives earn the same salary as Senators.
Senators and representatives alike earn only $7,200 per year, or $14,400 for a two-year legislative period. Some may consider this salary generous, since after all legislators work only for 140 days over two years. However, this salary equals just slightly over $100 per day.his adds up to $17,920 for the regular 140-day session. Annual compensation for the year in which the legislature is in session totals $25,120  which includes the $7,200 salary and $17,920 per diem allowance.
