Frequently Asked Questions
A pay ratio of 100:1 to 500:1 means the CEO earns that many times more than the company's median employee. For example, a 500:1 ratio means the CEO earns 500 times what the median worker earns. The SEC requires public companies to disclose this ratio in annual proxy statements since 2018.
161 public companies in our database have a CEO-to-worker pay ratio in the 100:1 to 500:1 range. Their average CEO compensation is $12.6M.
A high pay ratio isn't inherently good or bad — context matters. Some industries (retail, food service) naturally have higher ratios because of large low-wage workforces. Our Pay-for-Performance Score evaluates whether CEO pay is justified by company results, regardless of the absolute ratio. Among companies with 100:1 to 500:1 ratios, the grade distribution is: Grade D: 15, Grade C: 65, Grade B: 60, Grade A: 21.
