What is the salary of the CEO of Microsoft?
The 2021 base salary for the CEO of Microsoft was $2.5 million. As Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at MICROSOFT CORP, Satya Nadella made $49,858,280 in total compensation. Of this total $2,500,000 was received as a salary, and $14,212,500 was received as a bonus.
Nadella received $0 in stock options, but $33,036,030 was awarded as stock, and $109,750 came from other types of compensation. This information is according to proxy statements filed for the 2021 fiscal year. The increase in total compensation was due to an increase in stock, up from $30.7 million in 2020.
Nadella's cash bonus was also up from $11 million in 2020. By comparison, the annual total median compensation for Microsoft employees other than Nadella was $176,858. This resulted in a CEO pay ratio of 282 to 1. This compares with an SP average of 299 to 1 for 2020.
Microsoft's board claims it adjusted the formula for Nadella's stock awards and cash bonus, giving it more weight to financial and operational performance, in response to shareholder feedback. That is where Nadella benefitted, based on the board's positive assessment of his performance and the company's results.
