How the Journal Analyzed CEO Compensation

The Wall Street Journal analyzed CEO pay for companies in the S&P 500 index using compensation data provided by MyLogIQ LLC, a securities-filing data service.

The 2015 figures included 452 companies that filed compensation data from July 1, 2015, through May 31. Companies were omitted for years in which there was a change of chief executive.

Compensation figures were used as presented in summary compensation tables under Securities and Exchange Commission disclosure regulations. As a result, the analysis focuses on the value of what was granted in 2015, not necessarily what was earned in 2015.
