IT cost taxpayers $20.4 million for the Senate to sit just 56 days in 2012-13.

But its committees produced 200 reports and had as many as 60 inquiries running at once.

Staffing expenses made up 70 per cent of its operating costs, the Department of Senate's annual report reveals.

The department managed to balance its budget, following four years of deficits, by implementing a government efficiency dividend policy.

The Senate made amendments to one in 10 of the 596 bills that cleared the parliament.

The House of Representatives also made amendments to bills as a result of Senate committee recommendations.
