The remuneration of parliamentarians is paid from the state budget and is regulated by the Law on the Remuneration of Officials and Employees of State and Municipal Institutions. The amount of deputy salaries is automatically reviewed annually, taking into account changes in the average salary and inflation in the country. In addition to the basic salary, deputies may receive additional remuneration for performing certain duties in the presidium of the Saeima, parliamentary factions, committees, and subcommittees. However, no additional payments are provided for participation in Saeima and committee meetings, work in delegations, and deputy groups. Bonuses are also not paid to parliamentarians. Furthermore, deputies are compensated for expenses related to the performance of parliamentary duties. In particular, they may be eligible for compensation for housing rent and transportation expenses.
