Pay under the rules (calculation)

A minister is paid the salary of the chair of a standing committee of the National Assembly (Council of Ministers Decision No. 240 of 1990, item 2). That salary follows the Rules of Procedure of the 52nd National Assembly, so the amounts start on 30 April 2026. This is a calculation, not the amount paid: individual salaries are not published.

This person does not hold a post in the Council of Ministers today.

Not calculated for posts before 30 April 2026: MPs' base pay for earlier periods is not in the rules table.

For comparison: declared annual taxable employment income for 2017 BGN 54,039

How this is calculated and what is left out

According to the Administration of the Council of Ministers (14 September 2026), a minister's salary equals that of the chair of a standing committee of the National Assembly. Under the Assembly's Rules of Procedure that is an MP's base pay plus 35%.
For the Prime Minister and the deputy prime ministers the Administration names the same decision and the order of the Chair of the National Assembly, but the published answer does not give the amount, so these salaries are not calculated. A deputy prime minister who also heads a ministry counts as deputy prime minister.
Caretaker ministers are calculated as ministers: no separate rule for them was found. A month's amount is in proportion to the days in post.
Not included: supplements for years of service and academic degrees, and any increases under the State Budget Act. Amounts are gross, before tax and social contributions.

In the period covered by the rules this person held no post whose pay is published.
