✶ Money · Keuangan partai politik · as of 5 November 2026
Rp1.000
a vote, a year.
Indonesia pays its parties per vote, but only a little: Rp1.000 for each valid DPR vote, every year of the term, to parties that won seats. The eight DPR parties share about Rp134 miliar a year. The rest of party money is private. Donations are capped, campaign spending is not, and the audit board checks how the state's share is spent.

Three rates,
three levels.
The rates are set by government regulation, not by statute: PP 5/2009 as amended by PP 1/2018. Each level of a party is paid on its own result, and only if it holds seats in that assembly: Partai Politik tingkat Pusat yang mendapatkan kursi di DPR
(Art. 5(1)).

The national pot · computed from KPU decrees 1204 and 1205/2024
Rp134 miliar
a year, for eight parties.
The eight parties over the 4% threshold won 134.489.125 valid DPR votes. At Rp1.000 a vote that is Rp134.489.125.000 a year, or Rp672 miliar over the five-year term. The ten parties below the threshold won 17.304.168 votes (11,4% of the valid vote) and get no national aid. PPP, with 3,87%, missed out by the narrowest margin.

Limits · batas sumbangan
Caps on giving,
none on spending.
Two regimes apply. Between elections, the parties law caps what a donor may give a party in a year. During the campaign, the elections law caps what a donor may give a ticket, party or candidate over the whole campaign. UU 7/2017 caps donations but sets no limit on what a presidential ticket, party or candidate may spend.

Regional elections work the other way round: each local KPU sets a spending ceiling per ticket, from population, area and unit costs, and donations are capped at Rp75 juta from an individual and Rp750 juta from a company (reported; PKPU 14/2024 not read). Examples from 2024: West Java (governor) Rp150 miliar; Bogor City (mayor) Rp72 miliar (press, unverified).

Audit · Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan
Every rupiah
of aid, audited.
The BPK audits each party's report on the state aid every year (UUD 1945 Arts. 23E–G). In the latest national summary found, 2022 aid (IHPS I/2023), all 9 central boards' reports on Rp126 miliar were compliant. Of 5.199 regional reports, 73,0% were compliant, 25,9% compliant with exceptions and 0,8% not compliant.
- Amounts reported not matching amounts disbursed
- Party bank accounts not used for the aid
- Incomplete evidence of spending
- Too little spent on political education, which PP 1/2018 Art. 9 makes the priority use (a Home Affairs regulation sets a 60% minimum — not checked)
Pay · DPR members
Rp65,6 juta
a month, take-home.
A DPR member's base salary is only Rp4.200.000 a month (PP 75/2000); allowances make up the rest, about Rp74,2 juta gross. A housing allowance of Rp50 juta a month, introduced for the 2024–2029 term, set off the protests of August 2025 and was stopped from 31 August 2025; the DPR then published the package (as of 5 September 2025).
