Haaland salary and the Australian pay line
If you've searched for "haaland salary", you're likely looking at the reported earnings of footballer Erling Haaland. While his exact pay is not published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Fair Work, or the ATO, this page can help you understand how any salary—including a footballer's—compares to the national full-time average. The site's tool reads a yearly salary and converts it to a weekly and hourly figure based on a standard 38-hour week, then shows how far it sits from the line.
The national full-time average
According to the ABS Average Weekly Earnings survey for May 2026, the average weekly ordinary time earnings for a full-time adult were $2,083.70. Multiplied by 52 weeks, that gives a yearly figure of about $108,352. This is the line against which all salaries on this site are measured. The same survey shows that full-time men average about $113,412 per year and full-time women about $100,594 per year. These are averages, not medians—the median full-time salary is lower, at about $90,532 per year (ABS Employee Earnings and Hours, August 2025). For all employees (including part-time), the median is about $74,100 per year.
Reading a salary as a year, week, and hour
The site's tool is designed to let you see the same pay in three different frames: yearly, weekly, and hourly. To convert a yearly salary to a weekly amount, divide by 52. To get an hourly rate for a full-time worker, divide the weekly amount by 38 (the standard full-time week used by the ABS and Fair Work). For example, if a footballer earned $500,000 per year, that would be about $9,615 per week and $253 per hour. You can then see how far that sits above the national full-time average of $2,083.70 per week.
What about Haaland?
Erling Haaland's salary is widely reported in sports media, but it is not an official figure published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Fair Work, or the ATO. Because this site relies on those sources, we cannot confirm a precise number. If you have a specific figure from a reliable source, you can enter it into the tool on this page to see where it sits against the Australian full-time average. For context, top footballers' salaries often far exceed the national average, sometimes by a factor of 10 or more. The tool will show you the exact distance.
State and territory averages
The full-time average varies across Australia. The ABS Average Weekly Earnings survey provides state-level figures. For May 2026, the annualised full-time averages are:
- 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 are based on the same ABS survey and can be explored in more detail on the States and territories page.
Medians and the minimum wage
Averages can be pulled up by high earners. The median full-time salary of about $90,532 gives a better sense of the typical full-time worker. The all-employees median of $74,100 includes part-time workers. At the bottom end, the national minimum wage from 1 July 2026 is $26.44 per hour, or $1,004.90 per week for a 38-hour week, which works out to about $52,255 per year. Award minimums rose by 4.75% from that date. These figures are set by Fair Work and are distinct from the ABS averages and medians.
