Income beyond salary, by year
Each column is one counted year, drawn at its floor: the smallest amount the form allows, so the true figure is this much or more. The mint column is the latest counted year. A dashed outline is a year in office that is not counted, never a zero.

Outside pay is read line by line from the form and grouped by the filer’s own type word, to the dollar. Investment income is reported in ranges, so its row counts the smallest amount each range allows: the true figure is this much or more. Only counted years enter. A kind with nothing reported has no row. Other includes salary and wages from a job outside Congress, never the congressional salary.
$346,603 reported for work before taking office is left out of every figure.

Amounts are the exact figures printed on counted forms, added across the years each payer appears. Spelling variants of one payer are merged into a single name. Investment income is reported in ranges with no payer, and a spouse’s pay is listed without an amount, so neither appears here.
The average adds each counted year’s smallest possible amount beyond salary and divides by the years counted. A year not counted is left out, never counted as zero. Outside pay is exact; investment income is reported in ranges and counts at least its lowest end. The typical member is the median of the 482 members’ own yearly averages. Joint, spouse and dependent holdings stay combined as filed. $346,603 reported for work before taking office is left out everywhere here. Tax-deferred accounts alone give no income amount.
The annual rate set by law for the latest year in office: $174,000. A first year is paid by days, so it is smaller. Salary is separate from every figure beyond it.
Annual financial disclosure reports filed with the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate; salary from the Congressional Research Service (97-1011).
