General Discussion

Marjorie Taylor Greene is projected to receive a monthly congressional pension of approximately $1,232. This amount is based on her minimum of five years of service in the House of Representatives and her current annual salary.

As a member elected after 1984, Greene is covered by the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS). The standard salary for a rank-and-file Member of Congress is $174,000 per year, which is used as her "high-three" average salary.

Formula: The FERS pension formula for Members of Congress with less than 20 years of service (who retire before age 62) uses a 1.7% accrual rate. The annual pension is calculated as: $174,000 (high-three salary) × 0.017 (accrual rate) × 5 (years of service) = $14,790 per year. This annual amount is divided by 12 to get a monthly pension of approximately $1,232.

Greene, who is 51 years old, is not yet eligible to collect this pension. Under FERS rules, a former Member with five years of service must wait until they reach age 62 to begin receiving their deferred, unreduced pension.

Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (MTG) will be eligible to receive an annual pension of approximately $8,700 if she takes an immediate annuity upon her resignation in January 2026. That works out to $725 a month.
