From Wikipedia: Before passage by Congress of the Former Presidents Act (FPA) in 1958, retired Presidents did not receive a pension. All living Presidents in 1959 began to receive a pension of $25,000 per year, an office and a staff. The pension has increased numerous times with Congressional approval. Retired Presidents now receive a pension based on the salary of the current administration's cabinet secretaries (Executive Level I), which is $191,300 as of 2008.[22] Some former Presidents have also collected congressional pensions.[23] The FPA, as amended, also provides former presidents with travel funds and mailing privileges.
According to the Former Presidents Act (FPA), former Presidents receive a pension that is equal to pay for the head of an executive department (Executive Level I-Presidential Cabinet member), which is $191,300 per year as of January 1, 2008. Former Presidents are all paid the same pension amount and are raised to this level when the Executive Level I salary increases, so all former Presidents are paid the same amount. This includes former Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H. W. Bush (#41), Bill Clinton, and will include President George W. Bush (#43). Other office, staff, and travel benefits are extensive. Former President Clinton is given an additional $961,000 for this purpose, and President Bush will be given the same amount. This is so the former Presidents will have enough income to perform some high level of humanitarian work. See http://www.senate.gov/reference/resources/pdf/98-249.pdf
