Result
Plain-English read on spending room and squad-cost ratio.

This scenario would leave Liverpool with approximately £68m of room. It would reduce remaining spending room by £12m. The estimated squad-cost ratio would increase from 75.6% to 77.0%, leaving them comfortable.

This assumes transfer fees are spread over five-year contracts before wages, agent fees, bonuses and registration timing. It is a translation of room, not a recommended budget.

Amortisation spreads a fee across the contract. A £50m signing on a five-year deal is a £10m annual cost before wages and other fees.

Room effect combines squad-cost change and football-income impact. A sale can help twice: lower costs and, if profitable, stronger football income.

Book profit or loss is sale proceeds minus remaining book value and sale costs. Academy sales often have low book value.

Owner equity is shown only for old PSR because the new squad-cost test is linked to football income, not shareholder funding.

Quick answer

A transfer fee is spread over the contract: a £50m fee on a five-year deal adds about £10m a year. Wages count in full each season. Annual squad cost ≈ fee ÷ contract years + wages + a small allowance for agent and bonus costs. The calculator compares that yearly cost with Liverpool's estimated football income — 85% of income is the levy line, and points deductions begin at 115%.
