How much do cfo make?

I’m curious to get some insights on CFO (Chief Financial Officer) salaries. I know compensation can vary a lot depending on the size of the company, industry, and location, but what’s the general salary range for CFOs these days? Do most CFOs earn primarily through base salary, or is a large portion tied to bonuses, stock options, and other incentives? If anyone here has real-world experience or reliable data, I’d love to hear how CFO pay is structured in small businesses vs. mid-sized companies vs. large corporations.

A CFO’s salary varies by company size and industry, but on average in the U.S., CFOs make $150,000 to $500,000 annually, with executives at large corporations earning $1M+ including bonuses and stock options.
