congressional pensions, like those of other federal employees, are financed through a combination of employee and employer contributions. all members pay social security payroll taxes equal to 6.2% of the social security taxable wage base ($128,400 in 2018). members first covered by fers prior to 2013 also pay 1.3% of full salary to the civil service retirement and disability fund (csrdf). members of congress first covered by fers in 2013 contribute 3.1% of pay to the csrdf. members of congress first covered by fers after 2013 contribute 4.4% of pay to the csrdf. members covered by csrs offset pay 1.8% of the first $128,400 of salary in 2018, and 8.0% of salary above this amount, into the csrdf. under both csrs and fers, members of congress are eligible for a pension at the age of 62 if they have completed at least five years of service. members are eligible for a pension at age 50 if they have completed 20 years of service, or at any age after completing 25 years of service. the amount of the pension depends on years of service and the average of the highest three years of salary. by law, the starting amount of a member’s retirement annuity may not exceed 80% of his or her final salary. there were 611 retired members of congress receiving federal pensions based fully or in part on their congressional service as of october 1, 2016. of this number, 335 had retired under csrs and were receiving an average annual pension of $74,028. a total of 276 members had retired with service under fers and were receiving an average annual pension of $41,076 in 2016.
