According to research by the Center of Economics and Law Studies (Celios), there is a disparity in allowances between high-ranking officials and lower-ranking members within the Indonesian National Police (Polri) and the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI).

Based on Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 102 of 2018, the allowance for a police chief reaches Rp43.6 million per month. Meanwhile, the allowance for the lowest-ranking police officer is only around Rp1.97 million.

A similar pattern is observed in the TNI. Referring to Perpres Number 103 of 2018, the head of the national military receives an allowance of Rp37.8 million, while the allowance for the lowest-ranking member is approximately Rp1.97 million.

"This disparity not only reflects a wide internal economic disparity but also potentially affects the morale and performance of lower-level members," wrote Celios in its report, Shrinking Middle Class, Taxes, Debt, and the Way Out (September 2025).

Celios also estimates that the salary gap within the Polri and TNI could be much larger, considering the wealth of senior officials derived from income outside of their basic salaries.
