How does the wage budget work?

To ensure your club remains financially stable and avoids bankruptcy, the Board monitors your Daily Wage Allowance. Think of this as your club’s "Financial Fair Play" system.

How it Works

The Board calculates your allowed spending based on your current cash balance.

- If your total daily player wages exceed what the Board deems sustainable for your current balance, they will step in.
- The Board will block any new player purchase that costs more than 25% of your current cash.

You can increase your wage budget by acquiring more cash. Selling a player is a great way to help; this increases your cash balance while simultaneously decreasing your daily wage bill, creating plenty of room for new signings.

The Board’s goal is to ensure you maintain a financially healthy club. If your wages are too high relative to your cash balance, they will block the purchase of new players. To resolve this, you must either increase your cash reserves or lower your total wage bill. These "Financial Fair Play" rules apply to all clubs to prevent over-financing and bankruptcy.

By building your club with a long-term focus on solid finances, you’ll avoid wage-related issues. You can earn cash through player sales, cash injections, winning matches, signing sponsor deals, and collecting reward boxes from achievements, Fan Duels, Quests, and the World Tour.
