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.
How to read these tables
These rankings surface as-reported SEC proxy figures so researchers can compare companies side by side.
Rankings reflect as-reported proxy figures; equity awards are grant-date fair value, not amounts ultimately realized.
