Contract Worth & Amortization Analyzer
Compute annual amortization book value and total financial commitment for clubs
The Contract Worth & Amortization Analyzer computes the true financial commitment of a player signing. By evaluating transfer fee straight-line amortization, cumulative wage liabilities, signing bonuses, and intermediary fees, this tool models the exact annual accounting charge against club books for Financial Fair Play (FFP/PSR) compliance.
Transfer fees are not expensed immediately in football accounting; they are amortized evenly over the contract duration (up to UEFA’s 5-year maximum). A €100M fee over a 5-year deal represents €20M/year in amortization, which combined with annual wages gives the true Total Annual Cost to Club.

How to Interpret Your Results
Annual Club Commitment is the key metric monitored by sporting directors. A signing with €18M annual amortization and €12M annual wage imposes a €30M/year budget impact on club profit & loss accounts.
Mathematical Formulation & Scoring Model
Mathematical Formulation & Scoring Model:
Annual Amortization = Transfer Fee / Contract Duration (clamped to 5 years per UEFA regulations); Annual Wage Cost = Weekly Wage × 52; Total Contract Cost = Transfer Fee + (Annual Wage × Years) + Signing Bonus + Agent Fees; Annual Accounting Charge = Annual Amortization + Annual Wage.
Practical Football Context & Tactical Application
Premier League Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR) limit 3-year rolling losses to £105M. Managing annual amortization commitments is vital to avoiding point deductions and transfer embargoes.
