A deputy's compensation and resources

Being a deputy comes with an allowance and material resources, funded by the National Assembly — not a salary in the usual sense, but a precise set of rules. Figures as of January 2026.

Monthly allowance

Total gross: €7,637.39 per month

  • Base allowance€5,931.95
  • Residence allowance (3%)€177.96
  • Function allowance (25%)€1,527.48

After mandatory deductions (pension, social security, transition support), the net amount is around €5,953 per month. The Assembly's president and questors receive a higher function allowance.

Staff credit and operating budget

Both of these are separate from the deputy's own personal allowance and can't be redirected to other spending.

€11,463.95

Staff credit (up to 5 collaborators)

€7,238.04

Operating allocation (office, communications, travel)

The deputy is the direct employer of their staff (hiring, firing); the Assembly covers employer contributions separately. Unused credit in a given month rolls over through the term, but can't be redirected to another budget line.

Other material resources

  • An individual office in the Palais Bourbon or its annex buildings.
  • Unlimited SNCF rail travel, and 80 round-trip flights a year between Paris and their district for mainland deputies.
  • A furnished room in Paris, or a €1,200/month reimbursement for deputies whose district is outside Île-de-France.
