Alessandro Circati salary: Where does it sit on the Australian line?
Alessandro Circati is an Australian professional soccer player who plays as a defender for Serie B club Parma and the Australia national team. His salary is not a matter of public record in Australian official statistics. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), Fair Work Ombudsman, and the Australian Taxation Office do not publish individual earnings for professional athletes. If you have a reliable figure for Circati's annual pre-tax salary, you can place a salary on the line to see how it compares to the national full-time average.
Reading any salary as a year, a week, and an hour
The tool on this site converts a yearly salary into a weekly amount (based on a 38-hour ordinary week) and an hourly rate. It then shows the distance from the national full-time adult average ordinary time earnings. This average is published twice a year by the ABS in its Average Weekly Earnings release. The most recent figure, from May 2026, is $2,083.70 per week, or about $108,352 per year. This is the 'line' against which all salaries are measured.
For context, the full-time median weekly earnings (from the ABS Employee Earnings and Hours survey, August 2025) are about $1,887 per week for full-time persons, or roughly $90,532 per year. The all-employees median (including part-time) is about $1,436 per week, or $74,100 per year. These medians give a sense of the middle of the earnings distribution, while the average is pulled higher by top earners.
State and territory averages
Full-time average ordinary time earnings vary across Australia. The ABS data for May 2026 shows the following annualised figures (weekly average × 52):
- New South Wales: about $109,658
- Victoria: about $106,137
- Queensland: about $106,064
- South Australia: about $102,450
- Western Australia: about $115,825
- Tasmania: about $96,008
- Northern Territory: about $103,173
- Australian Capital Territory: about $119,090
These state averages are for full-time adult employees. If Circati were employed in Australia, his salary would be compared to the state where he works. For more detail, see the states and territories page.
Minimum wage and award rates
For employees not covered by an award or agreement, the national minimum wage from 1 July 2026 is $26.44 per hour, $1,004.90 per week, or about $52,255 per year (based on 38 hours). Award minimums rose by 4.75% from that date. Professional athletes in Australia may be covered by specific awards or enterprise agreements, but Circati plays overseas, so Australian minimum wage laws do not apply to his current contract.
How the figures are set
The ABS calculates average weekly earnings from a survey of employers. The full-time adult ordinary time earnings measure excludes overtime and part-time workers. It is the most commonly cited benchmark for full-time pay. The how the figures are set page explains the methodology in more detail.
Using the tool
If you have a salary figure for Alessandro Circati from a credible source (such as a club announcement or a reputable football finance report), enter it into the tool on this page. The tool will display the weekly equivalent (assuming a 38-hour week, which is the standard ordinary hours for full-time employees in Australia) and the hourly rate. It will also show the dollar and percentage difference from the national full-time average of $2,083.70 per week.
For example, if Circati earned $500,000 per year, that would be about $9,615 per week and $253.03 per hour – well above the national average. Without a confirmed figure, we cannot provide a specific comparison.
Job medians and industry medians
For other occupations, the ABS publishes median earnings by occupation and industry. The job medians and industry medians pages allow you to see where a particular role sits. Professional athletes are not separately listed in the public ABS occupation tables, but the 'Sports and Personal Services' industry category may give a broad indication.
Tax considerations
If Circati were an Australian resident for tax purposes, his salary would be subject to the 2026–27 tax rates: nil on the first $18,200, 15% on income up to $45,000, 30% up to $135,000, 37% up to $190,000, and 45% above that. The Medicare levy of 2% also applies (with possible reductions for low-income earners). However, as a non-resident (if he lives and works in Italy), different tax rules apply. The ATO provides guidance on residency for tax purposes.
Conclusion
Alessandro Circati's salary is not available from Australian official sources. If you have a figure, use the tool on this site to see how it compares to the national full-time average, medians, and state averages. For more guidance on understanding salary comparisons, see the guides page.
