Method. Counts are of total compensation — salary paid plus taxable benefits — because the roster each row links to is sorted that way; the median above is salary paid, the basis of every median on this site. Figures cover the 2025 Ontario Sunshine List filing for Colleges, Universities, Research Excellence and Security, which lists only public-sector employees paid $100,000 or more, so “over $100,000” is everyone on it. A rung with fewer than five people shows “<5” instead of a count, and a neighbouring rung may show a rounded “10+”-style figure, so that number cannot be subtracted out from it; data runs through 2025.
