I can only speak for workplaces in the US, but even to the boss or company president, "Thank you" is about as formal as it gets.
We save expressions like
"THANK YOU OH SO VERY, VERY MUCH - YOU'RE THE MOST WONDERFUL HUMAN BEING ON THE WHOLE PLANET EARTH!!!", etc. for very - very special situations or people in our lives.
If people say more than "Thank you" too often, we can perceive them as phonies.
Just my observation.
You stick with "Thank you", you'll do well anywhere.

For almost every polite situation, I use just: "Thanks" or "Thank you". That is polite and that is how almost all English speakers express gratitude in everyday life.
In normal conversation, only when deeply, deeply grateful do I use something like "Thank you very much".
An easy trick is to think of three levels.
1. My friend hands me a pen (that's helpful), I say:
"Thanks."
2. My sister offers me a cupcake (a little more special), I say:
"Thank you."
3. My neighbor saves my cat's life (super awesome), I say:
"Thank you so much!"
Most English speakers I hear mostly just say, "Thanks".
Thanks for your interesting question!

Thank you for answering my question!
Can I use “Thanks" to say thank you to my boss?
Also, can a regular employee use “Thanks" to the president of the company?

it dosen't has a lotta difference, the first and second setences are equal in mean. but the third is more formal to me! and you are speaking with a man older than you.
Thanks so much! to me sound more polite!

"Thanks" for me is too casual to use when you're talking to your boss. Work is work so might as well use "Thank you, Sir/Ma'am" instead.
