Senate payroll

What this record is, and what it is not

The Senate publishes no identifier for the people it pays, only the name as each office’s payroll prints it. So the lines under one printed name may belong to more than one person, and one person may appear under two spellings. This page lists every line printed under this exact name and does not decide who is the same person.

A line is a disbursement: what an office paid for the period printed beside it, or for the half-year where none is printed. For part of a half-year it is part of a year’s pay, so no amount here is an annual salary, and none is a half-year’s pay doubled.

It is one chamber of one branch: the Senate’s own offices, committees and officers, as the Secretary of the Senate publishes them every six months. The lines are the full-time payroll; the benefits each office also pays are printed without names and are not here.

The U.S. Senate paid $365.5 million in named payroll lines in October 2025–March 2026, under 8,354 printed names in 246 office payrolls, as the half-yearly Report of the Secretary of the Senate prints it.
