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. Their pensions averaged $35,952, according to the CRS.
