Increasing board salaries in Germany

A remarkable trend is evident in another economic area: Apart from the positive effects on tourism in Austria, the board salaries of German DAX companies have also increased an increase. In 2021, the salaries of the board members rose compared to the previous year, which shows signs of a turn after a decline in the previous year. The average remuneration of female board members in Dax companies amounted to around 3.45 million euros, which was higher than the salary of their male colleagues with around 3.37 million euros. This could be due to the increasing competition for female talents in management positions, such as statista.com analyzed.

The remuneration of the CEOs, which was an average of 5.96 million euros, is particularly striking and is therefore significantly higher than other board members. Stephen Angel, CEO of Linde PLC, was the best paid CEO of a DAX company in the 2021, CEO of around 19.43 million euros. Compared to an average employee whose annual costs for linden people were around 114 times smaller, this shows a massive salary difference that is on average at 53 for all DAX companies.
