The global financial crisis meant a freeze was put on politicians' pay, but the latest parliamentary salary figures show a 3 per cent increase.

It might not be the only pay rise due, with the federal government likely to hold off on an expected pay increase for federal MPs until after the election.

Tasmanian parliamentary salaries are proportionally based on the federal base rate.

Greens leader and new cabinet minister Nick McKim is the biggest beneficiary of the new arrangements, jumping his salary more than $80,000 from $179,277 to $263,036.

The vast majority comes from his $78,143 allowance for being a government minister, as well as $39,072 for leading a minority party.

Mr Bartlett's annual salary and entertainment allowance went from $273,143 to $281,700.

That figure includes:

•A base salary of $111,633.

•An electorate allowance of $28,293.

•An entertainment allowance of $13,396.

A loading for being premier of $128,368.

It works out to $5417 a week, or $773 a day.

Opposition Leader Will Hodgman has seen his pay increase from $217,161 to $223,964 - about $613 a day.

Greens Denison MHA and new Secretary to Cabinet Cassy O'Connor has picked up an extra $33,490 to take her overall package to $173,416.

New Franklin Labor MHA and minister David O'Byrne has bypassed the backbench to step straight into a job worth $223,964.

Labor's backbenchers earn differing amounts due to the size of their electorate allowances.

New Bass Labor MHA Brian Wightman earns $150,537, Lyons MHA Rebecca White $158,789 and Denison MHA Scott Bacon $139,926.

The electorate allowances are much higher for geographically large electorates like Lyons, but all lower house members start on the same base rate of $111,633 a year.

New Bass Liberal MHA Michael Ferguson gets $150,537, the same as long-serving Bass MHA Peter Gutwein and Greens MHA Kim Booth.

Health Minister Michelle O'Byrne gets $228,680.
