On your W2 you should have an amount in box 1 that is smaller than the amount in box 3 and 5. Box 3 and 5 is your social security and medicare taxable wages which is your salary plus the deductible contributions and expenses. The amount in box 3 and 5 should be the amount that you're looking for to determine if you are a Highly Compensated Employee.
In addition, you should check with your employer to see how they define an HCE - there are differences between employers as to how this may be done.
