The press service of the Saeima explained that it is currently impossible to name the final amount of compensation. The election results have not yet been confirmed, and the final composition of the 15th Saeima has not been officially determined. Additionally, some elected candidates may refuse their deputy mandates. In 2026, the basic monthly salary of a Saeima deputy is 4,330 euros before taxes. Thus, three basic salaries amount to 12,990 euros. However, many parliamentarians receive additional remuneration for positions in the presidium of the Saeima, factions, commissions, and subcommissions, so the amount of the benefit for each deputy will vary. The right to such a payment is provided for by the law on the remuneration of officials and employees of state and municipal institutions. A deputy whose powers are terminated at the end of the term of the relevant Saeima and who is not elected to the next term receives a one-time benefit equal to three monthly salaries. According to preliminary election results, the composition of the parliament may be renewed by about two-thirds — there will be more than 60 new deputies in the 15th Saeima. Based solely on the basic salary, at least 850,000 euros will be needed for payments to outgoing parliamentarians. The most newcomers are expected from the "United List" — nearly 30 deputies. All 15 elected representatives of the "Sovereign Power/Union of Young Latvians" will be new to the current composition of the parliament, while "Latvia First" will have 12 such deputies. According to preliminary data, several well-known politicians may lose their seats in the next Saeima, including Arvils Ašeradens, Rihards Kozlovskis, Hosam Abu Meri, Zanda Kalniņa-Lukaševica, Kaspars Briškens, Leila Rasima, Kristaps Kristopans, Richard Šlesers, Ingmars Lidaka, and Lauris Lizbovskis. The final amounts of payments will be known after the election results are confirmed and the composition of the new parliament is formed.
