The wages for each player in Soccer Manager are calculated using the players ratings. A players wage is only increased when the player is offered a new contract and has had a recent rating increase.

It is important that you keep an eye on your teams 'Total Wages' on your Squad Page as this will help you plan your budget. It is advisable that you keep your 'Total Wages' expenditure under what you receive for current 'Total Income' per turn to ensure your club does not go into debt.
