So a congressman with 22 years of service and whose average salary for the top three years was $153,900 gets $84,645. A current congressman ending up with six years of service (it's two-year terms, after all) would get at least $16,503 (at age 62, of course). In actuality, the average congressional pension payment ranges between $41,000 and $55,000, based on 2002 data from the Congressional Research Service. Now, a retiring congressman isn't allowed to get more than 80 percent of their salary upon retirement.
They were receiving an average annual pension of $60,972. Thatâs a fraction of the current salary for rank and file House and Senate members, which is $165,200 per year. The pensions of the 143 former members who retired under the newer Federal Employeesâ Retirement System (FERS) average even less.rior to 1984, members of Congress were covered only by a separate Civil Service Retirement System that was criticized as being overly generous. They did not pay Social Security taxes and received no Social Security retirement credit for their time in office.
