What this figure does and does not look at
Derived from the first-team official games of this season (2026).
- This is a guide figure derived from performance alone; it does not look at anything else. Popularity / merchandise / publicity / team circumstances are not included.
- Remaining years on multi-year deals and performance bonuses are not taken into account.
- Years in NPB and contract rights such as free agency are not taken into account. The guide comes from performance alone, so players with few years tend to come out above their actual salary, while players with many years or on a multi-year deal tend to come out below it.
- Injury information is not used. Time missed shows up only as fewer appearances.
- The figure is a guide (estimate) derived from performance, not a judgement of the player or the contract. Actual salaries are settled between club and player.
- Fielding (errors and range), the different demands of each fielding position such as catcher, and save and hold totals are not looked at. Only players who appeared in first-team official games are covered, and players with little playing time come out low. Only players whose guide comes out above the first-team minimum guarantee are listed.
- The payroll used as the yardstick does not include foreign players, so the guide for a foreign player is a reference figure worked out on the same yardstick. Players who moved during the season are shown separately for each club.

M means million yen
Salary guide hub / Pacific League
How to read this page
The guide looks at how much a hitter added to run scoring, or how many runs a pitcher prevented, together with playing time, and turns that into a yen figure using the league's overall salary level as the yardstick. Only first-team official statistics go into it: fielding quality, popularity, years in NPB and team circumstances do not.
Tables are ordered from the highest guide downwards. Only players whose guide comes out above the first-team minimum guarantee are listed. Players with little playing time accumulate little, so their guide comes out low. Figures are rounded for display, so totals can differ by small amounts.
