• Biden receives largest tax-funded presidential pension
• It exceeds the current president’s salary and covers his office and staff in full

Former U.S. President Joe Biden receives the largest taxpayer-funded pension of any former president in U.S. history, estimated at around $417,000 annually, surpassing the current presidential salary of $400,000, according to experts’ estimates.

This substantial amount is attributed to Biden’s long political career, having served as a senator and vice president before his presidency, which qualified him to benefit from multiple retirement funds.

The law allows former presidents to receive a pension equivalent to that of a cabinet secretary, in addition to other taxpayer-funded benefits, including office space, staff salaries, and equipment.

Biden is allocated over $1.5 million annually to cover the needs of his office and staff, with no cap on office size or rental expenses.

Experts consider this situation unique, as Biden’s pension exceeds that of the current president, raising questions about whether laws should be revised to prevent future presidents from receiving such large taxpayer-funded benefits.
