Executive pay › About this data
Executive pay
A company's proxy statement includes a pay-versus-performance table. For each year it shows what the CEO was paid in total, the "compensation actually paid" under an SEC formula that follows the share price, the average for the other named executives, and the company's shareholder return. This feed lists those figures for each company's fiscal year, with the highest-paid CEOs first.
- Where it comes from
Companies tag the table in structured data that they file with the SEC, and the SEC publishes it.
Who reports it: The company, in its annual proxy statement (Form DEF 14A), tagged in structured data that the SEC publishes.

- Coverage
- Fiscal years ending in 2021 and later, when the SEC first required the pay-versus-performance table.
- Worth knowing
- Only companies that report a single CEO for the year show CEO figures: a company that changed CEOs, or tags each executive separately, shows a dash for the CEO and may still show its other executives. About 2,000 companies a year are covered. Compensation actually paid moves with the share price and can be far from total pay, or negative. A few filers tag thousands as dollars; amounts over $1 billion are marked so you can check the filing, and they are listed after the others when you sort by pay. Fiscal years are named by the date they end, and each company is shown for its most recent year unless you set dates or a ticker.
