Reading officer compensation requires context: $1M in aggregate officer pay at a $50M nonprofit reads very differently than the same figure at a $5B hospital system. The ratio columns below normalize compensation against organizational revenue. Form 990 Schedule J data has a 12-18 month lag from the calendar year the compensation covers — what you see here is the most recent filing year, not the current year.
