Top Heavy: CEO Pay to Total Payroll Expenses

Brisk growth in executive pay meant that total CEO compensation measured 2.1% of total employee compensation at banking companies with less than $20 billion of assets in American Banker's pay survey.

This interactive table compares pay for bosses with pay for the rank and file.
