Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] |  | ### Pay Versus Performance Set forth below are certain disclosures related to executive compensation and company performance using selected financial performance measures required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. The table below discloses: (i) the total compensation paid (as reported in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”)) and the compensation actually paid (“CAP”) to the individuals who served as the Company’s CEO; (ii) the average of the total compensation paid (as reported in the SCT) and the average CAP to the individuals who served as non-CEO NEOs; (iii) the cumulative total shareholder return of the Company and peer group cumulative total shareholder return; (iv) net income; (v) Adjusted EBITDA, and (vi) Adjusted EPS. CAP is calculated in the manner required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K.
Please refer to the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for a discussion of the Company’s executive compensation policies and programs and an explanation of the Company’s executive compensation review process.

(1) | The “Compensation Actually Paid” amounts in these columns are calculated in the manner required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. However, they do not represent the actual amount of compensation the Company considers to be earned by or paid to the NEOs during the applicable year.
| In particular, with respect to long-term equity incentive awards, “compensation actually paid” does not represent amounts actually paid to the NEO or necessarily the value that will ultimately be realized under long-term equity incentive awards. Rather, it primarily reflects the change in fair market value of equity awards during the applicable year, including for unvested awards subject to the achievement of performance targets in future years. Given the methodology under which CAP is required to be calculated, these amounts are subject to significant fluctuation based on stock price volatility and varying levels of projected and actual achievement with respect to PSU awards.
(2) | The table below sets forth the amounts deducted from and added to SCT total compensation to calculate CAP to the CEO and average CAP to the non-CEO NEOs:
(3) | The peer group used in this Pay Versus Performance table is the Peer Group the Compensation Committee confirmed was appropriate as a reference for 2023 pay determinations, as further described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis. The peer group used in this Pay Versus Performance table changed as compared with the peer group used last year in the Pay Versus Performance table. A detailed list of the peer group used in this Pay Versus Performance table is set forth in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Parties Involved in Compensation Decisions” on page 31. The peer group consists of AMETEK, Inc., Carlisle Companies Incorporated, Crane Co., Flowserve Corporation, Graco Inc. Helen of Troy Limited, Hubbell Incorporated, IDEX Corporation, Ingersoll Rand Inc., ITT Inc., John Bean Technologies Corporation, Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc., Nordson Corporation, Pentair plc, Rockwell Automation, Inc., Snap-on Incorporated, The Timken Company, Woodward, Inc. and Xylem Inc. The peer group used in this Pay Versus Performance table added Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. and Helen of Troy Limited, and removed Barnes Group, Dover Corporation,
| Fortive Corporation, and Welbilt, Inc., as compared to the peer group used in the peer group used last year in the Pay Versus Performance table. The peer group TSR would have been $112.18, $137.91, $123.08, and $153.15 for each of 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023, respectively, had the 2022 CD&A peer group remained the same for 2023.
(4) | Amounts earned by our NEOs as annual cash-based incentive compensation for fiscal year 2019 were paid in shares of Middleby common stock to conserve cash as part of the Company’s strategic plan to respond to the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. These shares were awarded on March 25, 2020, after the completion of the Company’s fiscal year-end audit and after the Compensation Committee certified that the 2019 VCIP goals had been attained. The number of shares awarded to each NEO was determined by dividing the aggregate value of such NEO’s bonus payable for fiscal year 2019 performance by the closing price of our stock on March 25, 2020, and vested immediately upon issuance. This compensation was included as Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation for fiscal year 2019 in the Summary Compensation Table, and accordingly was not included in the calculation of CAP for fiscal year 2020.
(5) | On April 10, 2020, the CEO and each of the NEOs elected to forego portions of base salary in respect of fiscal year 2020 as part of the Company’s strategic plan to respond to the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. In lieu of such foregone base salary, the Compensation Committee determined to award the CEO and each of the NEOs a grant of restricted stock, which grant had an aggregate grant date fair value equal to the amount of such foregone salary. The restricted stock vested in full on December 28, 2020. This compensation was included as Base Salary for fiscal year 2020 in the Summary Compensation Table, and accordingly was not included in the stock award adjustment portion of the calculation of CAP for fiscal year 2020.
(6) | Pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we determined Adjusted EPS to be the most important financial performance measure used to link company performance to CAP to our CEO and other NEOs in 2022 and 2023. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for year 2021 or 2020 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important such measure in future years. Adjusted EBITDA is included as a supplemental measure. See Annex A for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures.
(7) | Mr. Timothy J. FitzGerald is the only CEO reflected in the Pay Versus Performance Table. For fiscal year 2023, Messrs. Mittelman, Pool, Spittle and Fuchsen are the other NEOs reflected in the Pay Versus Performance Table. For fiscal years 2022 and 2021, Messrs. Mittelman, Martin M. Lindsay, Pool, and Spittle are the other NEOs reflected in the Pay Versus Performance Table. For fiscal year 2020, Messrs. David Brewer, Mittelman and Lindsay are the other NEOs reflected in the Pay Versus Performance Table.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure [Text Block] |  | Pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we determined Adjusted EPS to be the most important financial performance measure used to link company performance to CAP to our CEO and other NEOs in 2022 and 2023. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for year 2021 or 2020 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important such measure in future years. Adjusted EBITDA is included as a supplemental measure. See Annex A for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures. |  |  |  |

[1] | The “Compensation Actually Paid” amounts in these columns are calculated in the manner required by Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K. However, they do not represent the actual amount of compensation the Company considers to be earned by or paid to the NEOs during the applicable year.
[2] | Mr. Timothy J. FitzGerald is the only CEO reflected in the Pay Versus Performance Table. For fiscal year 2023, Messrs. Mittelman, Pool, Spittle and Fuchsen are the other NEOs reflected in the Pay Versus Performance Table. For fiscal years 2022 and 2021, Messrs. Mittelman, Martin M. Lindsay, Pool, and Spittle are the other NEOs reflected in the Pay Versus Performance Table. For fiscal year 2020, Messrs. David Brewer, Mittelman and Lindsay are the other NEOs reflected in the Pay Versus Performance Table.
[3] | The table below sets forth the amounts deducted from and added to SCT total compensation to calculate CAP to the CEO and average CAP to the non-CEO NEOs:
[4] | Amounts earned by our NEOs as annual cash-based incentive compensation for fiscal year 2019 were paid in shares of Middleby common stock to conserve cash as part of the Company’s strategic plan to respond to the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. These shares were awarded on March 25, 2020, after the completion of the Company’s fiscal year-end audit and after the Compensation Committee certified that the 2019 VCIP goals had been attained. The number of shares awarded to each NEO was determined by dividing the aggregate value of such NEO’s bonus payable for fiscal year 2019 performance by the closing price of our stock on March 25, 2020, and vested immediately upon issuance. This compensation was included as Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation for fiscal year 2019 in the Summary Compensation Table, and accordingly was not included in the calculation of CAP for fiscal year 2020.
[5] | On April 10, 2020, the CEO and each of the NEOs elected to forego portions of base salary in respect of fiscal year 2020 as part of the Company’s strategic plan to respond to the initial stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. In lieu of such foregone base salary, the Compensation Committee determined to award the CEO and each of the NEOs a grant of restricted stock, which grant had an aggregate grant date fair value equal to the amount of such foregone salary. The restricted stock vested in full on December 28, 2020. This compensation was included as Base Salary for fiscal year 2020 in the Summary Compensation Table, and accordingly was not included in the stock award adjustment portion of the calculation of CAP for fiscal year 2020.
[6] | The peer group used in this Pay Versus Performance table is the Peer Group the Compensation Committee confirmed was appropriate as a reference for 2023 pay determinations, as further described in the Compensation Discussion & Analysis. The peer group used in this Pay Versus Performance table changed as compared with the peer group used last year in the Pay Versus Performance table. A detailed list of the peer group used in this Pay Versus Performance table is set forth in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Parties Involved in Compensation Decisions” on page 31. The peer group consists of AMETEK, Inc., Carlisle Companies Incorporated, Crane Co., Flowserve Corporation, Graco Inc. Helen of Troy Limited, Hubbell Incorporated, IDEX Corporation, Ingersoll Rand Inc., ITT Inc., John Bean Technologies Corporation, Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc., Nordson Corporation, Pentair plc, Rockwell Automation, Inc., Snap-on Incorporated, The Timken Company, Woodward, Inc. and Xylem Inc. The peer group used in this Pay Versus Performance table added Lincoln Electric Holdings, Inc. and Helen of Troy Limited, and removed Barnes Group, Dover Corporation,
[7] | Pursuant to Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we determined Adjusted EPS to be the most important financial performance measure used to link company performance to CAP to our CEO and other NEOs in 2022 and 2023. This performance measure may not have been the most important financial performance measure for year 2021 or 2020 and we may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important such measure in future years. Adjusted EBITDA is included as a supplemental measure. See Annex A for a discussion of these non-GAAP measures.
