His salary included a £596,000 bonus, in addition to pension benefits, the company has disclosed.
In its annual report, Marks and Spencer said that because the business met its profit target, it paid bonuses across the company.
The High Street retail giant recently reported its first rise in annual profits in four years.
Last year, Mr Bolland and his executive team had to forgo bonuses, after the company's consistent drop in profits.
The chairman, Robert Swannell, said in the firm's annual report:  "This year, we have seen outstanding performance in some areas of the business, but performance below our expectations in others."
He said the food business had an outstanding year, while the company's international business performance was disappointing.
Steve Rowe, the executive director of the company's food division, earned a £653,000 bonus for the year, with a total package of £1.4m.

The 80 spaces, on top of a gym in Farnborough, Hampshire, were intended to relieve parking pressure in the town centre.
But a planned bridge, which would have provided vehicle access, was never built after construction of a second building with a vehicle ramp stalled.
The council's chief executive blamed the economic downturn for the delay.
Developer, St Modwen admitted there is no timescale for the bridge's completion.
Gareth Lyon, Conservative councillor for the town centre area on Rushmoor Borough Council and member of its development management committee, said: "We have a massive problem with car parking in Farnborough.
"To have had this huge car park lying empty defies belief. It is ridiculous."
A St Modwen spokesman said development was part of a "long-term regeneration project" of Farnborough which had already delivered 185,000 sq ft of retail, leisure and hotel space.
Rushmoor Borough Council's chief executive, Andrew Lloyd, told The Independent newspaper St Modwen had rightly decided not to proceed with the development during the economic downturn.
"It was right not to proceed until the retail units of the first phase had been let. It wasn't desirable to proceed with void properties in the middle of the recession," he said.
He said a shortage of parking spaces was "not a major issue" in the town.
Marks and Spencer chief executive Marc Bolland earned more than £2m in the last fiscal year.
