The total team salary for the Dallas Stars was reportedly $47,310,000, so his salary represented 5.9% of that total team payroll. We can compare his salary to the other players on his team. The median salary for a player on the Dallas Stars was $1,250,000, while the average salary was $1,971,250. He played a total of 70 games that season, with 9 goals and 23 assists - a total of 32 points. If we divide his reported salary by the number of games played, we find he earned $40,000.00 per game played. Jamie Langenbrunner had a plus/minus of -18, 45 PIM (penalties in minutes), 1 PP (power play goals), 0 SH (short-handed goals), 3 GWG (game winning goals), and took 153 shots. He had a shooting percentage in the 2010/2011 season of 5.90%.

His salary per goal scored was $311,111 and his salary per point was $87,500.
But then, there are taxes. Each hockey season is played during two calendar years, however, given an annual salary in the U.S. of $2,800,000 we can estimate that he would have to pay $955,284 in federal income taxes. That is about the same amount of tax as the tax paid by 117 median high school teachers, 133 median police officers, or 189 median fire fighters. After paying the IRS, he would have $1,844,716 left over. However, he may still have to use some of that money to pay state or city taxes as well.
