Jordan Bos salary and the Australian full-time average
Jordan Bos is a professional soccer player who currently plays for Melbourne City in the A-League and has represented the Socceroos. His exact salary is not publicly disclosed in the official Australian earnings sources we rely on — the ABS, Fair Work, or the ATO. Professional footballers' pay is set by individual contracts and is not captured in the national surveys that produce the averages and medians we use on this site.
Because we cannot give a precise figure for Jordan Bos, this article instead uses his situation as a prompt to explore where a professional athlete's earnings might sit relative to the national full-time average, and what that means for take-home pay.
The national full-time average as a reference
The ABS Average Weekly Earnings survey for May 2026 reports that full-time adult ordinary-time earnings average $2,083.70 a week. Multiplied by 52 weeks, that comes to about $108,352 a year. This is the line on this site — the benchmark against which we measure all salaries.
For context:
- The full-time median (from the ABS Employee Earnings and Hours survey, August 2025) is about $90,532 a year — half of full-time workers earn less, half earn more.
- The all-employees median (including part-time) is about $74,100 a year.
- The national minimum wage from 1 July 2026 is $26.44 an hour, or about $52,255 a year on a 38-hour week.
A professional footballer like Jordan Bos, playing in the top tier of Australian soccer, would almost certainly earn above the full-time average. A-League salaries for established players often range from $100,000 to $400,000 or more, though exact figures are confidential. Without a public figure, we can only note that his pay likely sits well above the line.
A resident take-home sketch on the average
To give a sense of what $108,352 looks like after tax, we apply the 2026–27 resident tax rates and the Medicare levy. The tax brackets are:
- Nil on the first $18,200
- 15% on the next $26,800 (up to $45,000)
- 30% on the next $90,000 (up to $135,000)
- 37% on the next $55,000 (up to $190,000)
- 45% above $190,000
Plus a 2% Medicare levy (before any reductions).
On $108,352:
- Tax on $18,200: $0
- Tax on $26,800 at 15%: $4,020
- Tax on $63,352 at 30%: $19,005.60
- Total income tax: $23,025.60
- Medicare levy (2% of $108,352): $2,167.04
- Total tax and levy: about $25,192.64
- Take-home pay: about $83,159.36 a year, or $1,599.22 a week.
This is a rough sketch. Actual take-home depends on tax offsets, deductions, and whether the Medicare levy surcharge applies (for singles without hospital cover earning over $93,000).
How the figures are set
All the averages and medians on this site come from the ABS. The full-time average is from the Average Weekly Earnings survey, published twice a year (May and November). The medians are from the Employee Earnings and Hours survey, published every two years. The minimum wage is set by Fair Work after the Annual Wage Review, and award minimums rose 4.75% from 1 July 2026.
For a professional footballer, pay is governed by the Professional Footballers Australia collective agreement, which sets minimum salaries and conditions. But individual contracts are private, so we cannot verify Jordan Bos's salary from public data.
State and territory averages
If Jordan Bos were to move clubs, his pay might be compared to the average in that state. The ABS provides full-time ordinary-time averages by state (May 2026):
- 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
Melbourne City is based in Victoria, where the full-time average is slightly below the national figure. But a professional footballer's salary would typically exceed the state average as well.
What if we had a figure?
If Jordan Bos's salary were publicly known, we could place it on the line and show exactly how far above or below the national average it sits. We could also compare it to job medians for professional athletes — though the ABS does not publish a specific category for soccer players. The closest might be "Sports and Fitness Workers" or "Athletes", but those medians are not broken down by sport.
Summary
Jordan Bos's salary is not available in the official sources we use. The national full-time average of $108,352 provides a benchmark. A professional A-League player would likely earn above that, but without a public figure we cannot say by how much. The take-home sketch on the average shows about $83,159 after tax and Medicare.
