Everton
2026/27 spending-room estimate
Quick answer
PSRwatch estimates Everton's 2026/27 squad-cost ratio at 102% of football income - above the 85% Green Threshold but comfortably below the 115% Red Threshold - the levy / allowance zone. That leaves roughly £29m of annual squad-cost room before the 115% Red Threshold. Model updated: 01 Sept 2026 · Accounts data refreshed: 18 Jul 2026. These are independent PSRwatch estimates, not official Premier League calculations.

Room to the Red Threshold
Room to Red Threshold
£29m
Annual squad-cost room before the 115% Red Threshold - the primary line where sporting-sanction (points) risk starts.
Squad-cost ratio
102% of 115%
The 115% Red Threshold is the primary sporting-sanction line. The 85% Green Threshold is the secondary levy / allowance line.
Room to Green Threshold
(£37m)
Room before the 85% Green Threshold, above which a levy / allowance charge (not a points deduction) applies to overspend.
Levy / allowance exposure
£37m
Levy on overspend above the 85% Green Threshold - a fine, not a points deduction.
What this means for Everton
They are above the 85% Green Threshold but inside the 115% Red Threshold, so the exposure is a levy / allowance charge on around £37m of overspend - a fine, not a points deduction.
Confirmed transfers this summer have reduced remaining room by about £41m (+19.0 percentage points).
The old-PSR model is not expected to be the biggest issue in the 2023/24-2025/26 closeout window.

Why this club is in this position
2026/27 · Premier League Squad Cost Ratio - a PSRwatch model, not an official league finding.
The numbers behind it
| Football income | £218m |
| Squad cost | £222m |
| - of which wages | £155m |
| - of which amortisation | £59m |
| Player trading contribution | £16m |
| Room to Green Threshold (85%) | −£37m |
| Room to Red Threshold (115%) | +£29m |
What creates the pressure
- High wage bill - £155m a year is 70% of squad cost
- Low revenue for this squad - income £218m vs squad cost £222m
- Over the 85% Green Threshold - levy exposure (a fine, not a points deduction)
What improves the position
- A sale would improve headroom - sale profit counts in the model straight away
- Higher football income adds room - every £1m of income covers more squad cost
- Lower wages (departures or expiring deals) reduce squad cost fastest
And under Old PSR (2023/24–2025/26, the older loss-based rule)
- Three-year losses - £14m of adjusted losses in the 2023/24–2025/26 window
- Verified owner equity lifts the loss allowance above the £15m baseline
- A player sale would improve the position - sale profit counts in full
Full figures (baseline, source-backed and max-funded scenario) are in the Old PSR result section below.

This table translates confirmed transfer activity into spending-room impact. A transfer fee is normally spread across the player's contract as an annual transfer-fee cost. Wages, signing fees, agent fees, loans and sales then change the live squad-cost position.

Central forecast starts from the committed club forecast and splits football income using a league-typical modelled mix (about 18% matchday / 47% broadcasting in the Premier League) - the club's own filed mix will be used once its accounts disclose one.
Premier League participation is included in the broadcasting and commercial mix.
No UEFA revenue is included unless the club is flagged for Europe.
Low/high range is a deterministic +/-6% sensitivity around central football income.
Broadcasting income lifted to the Premier League floor of GBP 95m (was below it), adding about GBP 0m.
Squad-cost breakdown
Squad cost combines the club's accounts wage bill (all staff - a conservative stand-in for the League's player-and-coach definition), annual transfer-fee costs and estimated agent, signing, loan and bonus costs, compared with football income to give the squad-cost ratio estimate.
Squad wage bill (accounts, all staff)
£155m
From the club's filed accounts: total staff costs including non-playing staff, bonuses and employer NI. The League's squad-cost test counts player and head-coach pay, so this numerator errs conservative.

Old PSR allows higher losses only where secure funding/equity is evidenced; owner and shareholder loans are excluded unless validly converted to eligible equity.

Player ledger
Player-level squad-cost model from contract, wage and player-registration cost data.
Per-player wages are gross fixed salaries from public sources, or a labelled estimate where no salary is published. This table is a DECOMPOSITION: the squad-cost estimate above stays anchored to the club's own filed accounts, and the difference is shown below rather than hidden.
Reconciliation to the accounts: players listed here account for £82m of the £155m wage bill, leaving £73m unallocated (bonuses, employer NI, coaching and non-playing staff), and £75m of the £59m player-registration amortisation - £17m MORE than the club's filed charge, because contracts signed since that year end amortise above it. The club totals come from the accounts; this table never replaces them.

Methodology and sources
Premier League SCR is estimated as squad costs divided by football income. Spending between 85% and 115% of football income attracts a financial levy on the overspend; crossing 115% brings a fixed 6-point deduction plus 1 further point per GBP 6.5m spent beyond the 115% capacity.
Squad costs use the club's accounts wage bill (all staff - conservative vs the League's player-and-coach definition), annual transfer-fee cost, and estimated agent, signing, loan and bonus costs.
Transfer fees are spread across contract life. Sales compare proceeds with remaining book value to estimate book profit or loss.
Revenue forecasts start from the latest filed accounts and committed club forecast, then split 2026/27 football income into matchday, broadcasting, commercial, UEFA and player-trading lines.
Old PSR is retained only as a 2023/24-2025/26 closeout layer. Owner funding can support the old loss allowance when available and capped, but it does not create new SCR revenue capacity.
Each public snapshot is generated from PSRwatch-owned JSON files after validation, with the last good snapshot kept if an upstream refresh fails.

Glossary
Squad Cost Ratio
Squad costs divided by football income.
Football income
Forecast matchday, broadcasting, commercial, UEFA and relevant player-trading income used as the SCR denominator.
Room before limit
Annual squad-cost capacity before the 85% levy threshold is reached.
Levy threshold (85%)
Spending beyond 85% of football income attracts a financial levy (fine) on the overspend, up to the 115% buffer.
Red zone / points threshold (115%)
Crossing 115% of football income brings a fixed 6-point deduction, plus 1 further point per GBP 6.5m spent beyond the 115% capacity.
UEFA rules
Separate squad-cost pressure for clubs in European competition, shown against a 70% threshold.
Old PSR
The old three-year loss-based regime, retained as a closeout layer for 2023/24-2025/26.
Owner equity / secure funding
Funding that can support old PSR loss allowance when available and capped, but does not automatically add SCR capacity.
Annual transfer-fee cost
Capitalised transfer cost spread across the player's contract.
Book value
Unamortised capitalised player cost remaining on the balance sheet.
Book profit/loss
Sale proceeds less remaining book value and sale costs.
Academy sale
Sale of a club-developed player, often carrying low book value and high book profit.
Free transfer
A transfer with no fee, though wages, signing fee and agent fee can still affect squad cost.
Loan fee
Temporary fee or wage contribution linked to a loan move.
Transfer effect
Change in annual squad-cost room caused by transfer activity.
Spendable capacity
Annual squad-cost room converted into a football-language estimate, not a recommendation or exact budget.
