About What Footballers Earn

Updated April 15, 2026

What Footballers Earn is a programmatic-data reference for footballer salaries, market values, and on-pitch output. We publish a profile for every player we have verified data on.

What We Track

Weekly wages

Verified where public filings exist, and estimated with a transparent percentile band when they don’t.

Market value

Current and peak Transfermarkt valuations, updated each sync run.

On-pitch output

Appearances, minutes, goals, assists, and derived metrics like earnings-per-goal and earnings-per-90 from the FBref 2025/26 season feed.

Our Mission

Transparency

Every number has a named source. Every estimate carries an explicit percentile band and bucket label.

Zero-click accuracy

Titles and meta descriptions are written so search-engine snippets contain accurate numeric answers without requiring a click.

We aim to cover every player with a verified market value globally.
