Mary Fowler salary: a resident take-home sketch
Mary Fowler is a well-known Australian footballer, but her exact salary is not a matter of public record in the datasets we rely on. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) publishes broad earnings measures, not individual pay. Fair Work Australia sets minimum wages and award rates, but those apply to classifications, not named individuals. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) does not release personal tax returns. So we cannot give a precise figure for Mary Fowler’s salary.
What we can do is show how her pay would compare if it were known, using the national full-time average as the reference line. This page uses the ABS Average Weekly Earnings, May 2026, which puts full-time adult ordinary-time earnings at $2,083.70 a week, or about $108,352 a year (multiplied by 52). That is the site’s line. Around that line we also have medians, the minimum wage, and state averages, all drawn from official sources.
The national full-time average and medians
The ABS’s Average Weekly Earnings survey for May 2026 reported that full-time adult ordinary-time earnings (seasonally adjusted) were $2,083.70 a week. Annualised, that is $108,352. This is an average, meaning it is pulled up by higher earners. The full-time median from the ABS Employee Earnings and Hours survey (August 2025) was about $1,740 a week, or $90,532 a year. The all-employees median (including part-time) was about $1,436 a week, or $74,100 a year. The median gives a better sense of what a typical worker earns, while the average is the reference for this site.
For context, men’s full-time ordinary-time average was about $2,181 a week ($113,412 a year) and women’s about $1,934.50 a week ($100,594 a year). The gender pay gap in average weekly ordinary full-time earnings fell to 11.3% in May 2026, the lowest on record.
Minimum wage and award rates
From 1 July 2026, the national minimum wage is $26.40 an hour, $1,004.90 a week, about $52,255 a year on a 38-hour week. Award minimums rose by 4.75% from that date. If Mary Fowler is covered by an award or enterprise agreement, her base pay would be at least that rate, but her actual salary could be higher.
Resident tax 2026–27
For the 2026–27 income year, resident tax rates are:
- Nil up to $18,200
- 15% from $18,201 to $45,000
- 30% from $45,001 to $135,000
- 37% from $135,001 to $190,000
- 45% above $190,000 Plus the Medicare levy of 2% (before reductions).
If Mary Fowler earned the national full-time average of $108,352, her tax would be roughly $26,088 plus Medicare levy of $2,167, leaving about $80,097 after tax. If she earned the full-time median of $90,532, tax would be about $19,168 plus Medicare $1,811, leaving about $69,553. These are rough estimates.
State full-time averages
Full-time ordinary-time earnings vary by state. The ABS May 2026 original estimates show:
- New South Wales: $2,108.80 a week ($109,658 a year)
- Victoria: $2,041.10 ($106,137)
- Queensland: $2,039.70 ($106,064)
- South Australia: $1,970.20 ($102,450)
- Western Australia: $2,227.40 ($115,825)
- Tasmania: $1,846.30 ($96,008)
- Northern Territory: $1,984.10 ($103,173)
- Australian Capital Territory: $2,290.20 ($119,090)
If Mary Fowler lives and works in one of these states, her salary would be compared to that state’s average. For example, if she is based in New South Wales, the state average is $109,658, slightly above the national average.
How to think about Mary Fowler’s salary
Without a published figure, we can only speculate. Professional footballers in Australia’s A-League Women have a minimum salary set by the Professional Footballers Australia collective bargaining agreement. For the 2025–26 season, the minimum was around $40,000, but top players can earn much more, especially if they also play overseas or have endorsements. Mary Fowler plays for Manchester City in the English Women’s Super League and the Australian national team, so her salary is likely higher than the national average, but it is not publicly reported.

Conclusion
Mary Fowler’s salary is not available from the ABS, Fair Work, or the ATO. The national full-time average is $108,352 a year. The full-time median is $90,532. The minimum wage is $52,255. Without her actual pay, we cannot say where it sits. But the tools on this site can help you compare any known salary to these benchmarks.
