  Where does Capology get salary data?

  We source salary data from all over the web, news, social, industry experts, and a network of sources who help us verify player salaries around the world.

• How accurate is Capology salary data?

  We strongly advise that all salaries on our website are estimates, even verified players. While Capology strives for accuracy, we do not have access to players' contracts for official confirmation. However, the accuracy of Capology's coverage strongly correlates to the popularity of any given league. For example, the English Premier League, Serie A, and MLS are Capology's most accurate salaries based on trusted sources, the amount of press coverage, and the interest of the Capology community.

• How does Capology calculate gross and net salaries?

  We consulted international tax professionals to determine best taxation rates across many countries. Because some countries tend to report gross salaries and others report net, Capology performs a backwards or a forwards calculation to determine the other half of our salary estimate for each player.

• What does Capology mean by "verified"?

  A player's wage is "verified" if provided directly by the club, the player's agent, or an intermediary, and/or is confirmed by 2 or more sources.
