What is a
Team Player Salary Budget
? Player Salary Budgets are considered human capital planning models and are used by budget managers to allocate team cap funds to players' compensation packages. Some of the main functionality in this type of input form is that it starts with a number of assumptions and then uses these to allocate amounts to existing players and expected recruits. Examples of drivers are: Total team cap amount, current player costs versus team cap, and draft positions. Details per player can include: Position, age, experience, salary, contract amount, years left on contract, guaranteed amount, and expiration year. You find an example of this type of input form below.

Player Salary Budget Models Sports organizations use Player Salary Budget Models to easily model compensation for both existing players and those expected to be acquired. When used as part of good business practices in Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A) departments, a professional team can improve its agility and speed during compensation negotiations, and it can reduce the chances that calculation errors distort budgets and tactics.
