Ghanaian MPs Earn Over GH¢60,000 Monthly Salary Excluding Allowances After 2025 Pay Adjustment

• A JoyNews analyst revealed that Ghanaian MPs now earn GH¢60,000 per month as basic salary, double what they received before 2025
• The salary adjustment follows a new pay structure approved by Parliament that took effect from 2025 onwards
• Analyst Caleb Ziblim linked the doubled salaries to a sharp rise in the presidency's compensation costs from GH¢100 million to GH¢248 million

Ghanaian Members of Parliament are now earning approximately GH¢60,000 a month as basic salary.

It came following a significant upward revision in the pay structure for public officials that took effect from 2025, according to JoyNews Research and Data Analyst Caleb Ziblim.

MPs' Salary doubles from GH¢30,000

Ziblim made the disclosure on 30 August 2026, in a snippet shared on X in which he addressed the sharp increase in compensation costs at the presidency between 2023 and 2026, despite the government reducing the number of political appointees.

The analyst explained that MPs, ministers, and other public officials earned around GH¢30,000 per month from approximately four years ago through to 2024, before a salary adjustment was introduced.

"About GH¢30,000 four years ago up to 2024. So, after 2024, there's an adjustment in our salaries and now the new salary structure will mean that, the basic salary is about GH¢60,000 every month," Ziblim stated.

He was clear that the GH¢60,000 figure represents only the basic salary and does not account for the various allowances that MPs are entitled to receive separately.

"That's without the allowances. So, that's about double," he added.

MPs salary increase linked to rising presidency compensation costs

Ziblim pointed to the new pay structure as the most plausible explanation for why the presidency's total compensation expenditure jumped sharply from GH¢100 million to GH¢248 million, even as the size of government was reduced.

"So, we know that for the past four years, the MPs, ministers and all of that were making about GH¢30,000 a month but then from 2025 going, they are now making GH¢60,000 a month so that's about the problem," he said.

He further argued that the president's use of the newly approved salary framework accounts for the dramatic increase in the compensation bill.

"So, we are assuming that the jump from 100 million to now 248 million is because the president is now using the new and approved salary structure by Parliament, so this could explain why the jump from 100 million to 248 million," Ziblim explained.

The figures have drawn attention to the cost of running government at a time when Ghana is under fiscal pressure and public debate around the wages of elected officials and appointees remains active.
