I don't think you understand what "proportional" means. It doesn't mean "there are two numbers."

It means that when looking at all employees, compensation is strongly linearly correlated to provided value.

What specific linear correlation do you think is fair? And how do you calculate the value you provide?

That's literally what "proportional" means.
