Compensation reported in this database represents the employee's annualized base salary at the time of the data snapshot — not necessarily the amount actually paid out during the calendar year, which can differ because of partial-year employment, mid-year promotions, supplemental funding sources (federal grants, athletic revenue at universities, fee-supported programs), and overtime. See our methodology for the full caveats.

How to read these numbers

The annual pay column shows the salary that the agency reports for that employee at the time of the data snapshot. It is the standard apples-to-apples figure used by Texas budget analysts: monthly base rate × 12 for salaried employees, or hourly rate × scheduled hours × 52 for hourly staff. It does not include benefits, retirement contributions, performance bonuses, settlement payments, contract buyouts, deferred compensation, or supplements paid from foundation or grant funds — all of which can be substantial at universities and large agencies.

Two employees with the same title and similar tenure can earn very different amounts at the same agency for legitimate reasons: market-pay adjustments approved by the agency head, longevity pay required by Texas Government Code Chapter 659, hazardous-duty pay for eligible peace officers, or temporary stipends during periods of acting leadership. Before drawing conclusions about any single record, look at the methodology page for the full set of caveats and read the agency's own pay plan if it has one.
