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 Finance , 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.
