Where can I find league average payroll?

My team is probably going to need to pay the luxury tax.

Where can I find the league average payroll in game?

I'd like to estimate how much this will cost our team.

Not sure if there is a screen that shows league average. Under league menu - Reports & Info - Finances Report you can see the team payroll.

I just found it.
GameSettings/Financials "Average Player Payroll"

I thought that was where I went looking for it in the first place. Either I was not properly focused while searching. Or possibly, that figure is not displayed during the offseason.

Think that's just an estimate, eh?

if you didn't alter much, the median team in finances report will be a good ballpark figure without doing any math. if 30, then # 15/16 teams - ish ballpark.

the estimated average doesn't account for extra moneys available, if any. e.g. if you see estimated profit ~50M or more, you should expect 10-20M or more average payroll than what is estimated. teams will spend ~25-30m on other expenses, and if you have owner control over budget that's one more thing to consider when it comes to all that extra cash relative to average total revenue. you'll estimate better than the game in many situations.
