About These Rankings

How are highest pay ratios calculated?

Pay ratios are disclosed directly by companies in their annual proxy statements (DEF 14A) as required by the SEC. The ratio is CEO total compensation divided by median employee total compensation for the fiscal year.

What's included in "total compensation"?

Total compensation includes: base salary, annual cash bonuses, stock awards (at grant-date fair value), option awards (at grant-date fair value), non-equity incentive plan compensation, pension value changes, and all other compensation (perks, benefits, etc.). This is the same figure companies are required to report.

Data currency: Executive compensation from SEC EDGAR DEF 14A proxy statements through fiscal year 2025, compiled and last refreshed August 2026. See our methodology for source dates and refresh cadence. Spot a figure that looks wrong? Report a correction.
