What our data shows for Chief Executives

RoleHue publishes 14 salary records for Chief Executives, across a single city. Weighted by how many records each city contributes, the band runs from $240,000 at the 25th percentile to $316,250 at the 75th, a spread of $76,250 around $245,000. Each of those three figures averages the city-level percentiles rather than ranking the pooled records, and weights each city by how many records it holds, so the cities we hold most data for pull them hardest. Measured against that $245,000 figure rather than in dollars (31% of it), that spread is mid-pack among the roles we cover.

Every one of those records comes from New York, NY, so nothing on this page should be read as a national figure. It is one metro's picture, and it will change shape as other cities reach the ten-record threshold we require before publishing a number.
