Rometty's base salary is set at $1.5 million, but that's only 10% of her compensation.
She received an annual incentive of $3.9 million for her performance in 2012, partly due to the fact that her leadership allowed IBM (IBM) to return "significant value" to shareholders. Big Blue boosted its dividend by 13% in 2012 and bought back $12 billion in stock, according to a regulatory filing.
Total compensation is calculated as the sum of base salary, discretionary and performance-based cash bonuses, the grant-date fair value of stock and option awards during the fiscal year, and other compensation like benefits and perks. Equilar, an executive compensation research firm, prepared the data by looking at CEOs of technology companies that filed proxies by June 3, 2013.
