City of Boston public payroll explorer

Top Paid Boston Payroll Records

The top-paid Boston payroll page lists the largest reported total gross pay records in the public dataset. This is a records view, not a ranking of unique people, and it is useful for understanding which departments, titles, and years appear most often near the top of the payroll distribution.

High-payroll record pages work best when they are paired with context. Use this leaderboard to see which record combinations of year, department, title, and employee name appear at the top of the dataset, then click through to the surrounding department or title pages for broader context.
