Nonprofit ED Total-Compensation Normalization Workbook

Take an Executive Director's Schedule J compensation — base, bonus/incentive, deferred, nontaxable benefits, and other reportable columns — and normalize it into one comparable total, then place that total against Form 990 peers you enter yourself. The workbook reconciles Part VII reported comp against the Schedule J columns so the figures actually agree, then plots your position at the 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th percentiles of the peer set you build. It carries no benchmark of its own: every number comes from the Form 990 filings you enter, each tagged with its EIN and tax year. Coverage is limited to nonprofit Form 990 filers and public-company disclosures — private-company pay is not publicly disclosed anywhere.
