Ipsa confirmed it was not proposing to introduce performance-related or regional pay or to take outside earnings into account.
Of the 100 MPs interviewed, Conservatives were the most likely to believe they were underpaid, with 47 per cent saying that, compared with 39 per cent of Labour members and 9 per cent of Lib Dems.
David Cameron's spokesman said: "The Prime Minister's view is MPs' pay is a matter for Ipsa."
