View job How is this CTO salary data calculated?
The figures are computed from live job listings, not from surveys.
- Source: the salary ranges employers publish in their own job listings, collected from company career pages and applicant-tracking systems.
- Method: each listing counts once, at the midpoint of its range. Headline figures use USD listings only, and the median is the middle value, not an average.
- Coverage: only listings paying $200k+ or more are included, so the data does not describe all CTO pay. Listings that publish no salary are not counted.
- Freshness: closed and stale listings are removed, and the figures are recalculated as the listings change.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a CTO make?
The median CTO salary in our $200k+ listings is $253,000 a year, based on 677 live USD listings. The middle half of listings pays $220,000 to $303,000. These figures cover only listings that publish a salary of $200k+ or more, so they sit above pay for CTO roles overall.
What is the salary range for a CTO?
Individual $200k+ CTO listings range from $115,000 to $675,000 a year. The 25th percentile of listing midpoints is $220,000 and the 75th percentile is $303,000.
Which companies are hiring for CTO roles at $200k+?
The companies with the most open $200k+ CTO listings are Capital One (34 listings, median $222,000), Brex (23 listings, median $290,000), Mastercard (23 listings, median $235,000), Visa (22 listings, median $256,000) and NVIDIA (21 listings, median $372,000).
Where does this CTO salary data come from?
The figures come from the salary ranges employers publish in their own job listings, collected from company career pages and applicant-tracking systems. Each listing counts once, at the midpoint of its range. Only USD listings go into the headline figures, and listings that are closed or stale are removed. The data was last refreshed on November 14, 2026.
Are remote and hybrid CTO jobs included?
Yes. Each listing is tagged remote, hybrid or on-site, and remote roles carry a region (US only, EMEA, APAC or global), so you can filter the live job list to the arrangement you want.
