Salary expectations as an Engineering Manager

I moved to management 1.5 years ago and since then my salary increased the way as it would have as an IC, although my workload and level of stress doubled. It feels really unfair, knowingly that you are holding the whole team and eventually the company culture together. I love management, e.g. working with people, the breadth of project planning and execution, helping individuals to grow, and based on feedback from my reports I’m not so bad either. I just don’t think it’s worth of my time/nerve.
What am I not getting here? Any suggestions out there?
Cheers!

In the end what keeps me going is being able to work with a wonderful set of people and supporting them in their growth and driving long-term strategy
