"circa" is latin and it means 'around' as in 'approximately'; it is used when a number has not been decided on exactly as in the value of something or more commonly with a date, when it is impossible to judge the exact date of something, for example, the cave paintings at Altimira were done circa 30,000 b.c. It would of course be impossible to figure out the exact year.

Circa (often abbreviated c., ca., ca, or cca. and sometimes italicized to show it is Latin) literally means "about". It is widely used in genealogy and historical writing, when the dates of events are approximately known.

For example, an encyclopedia entry for Genghis Khan may begin with "Genghis Khan (c. 1162–August 18, 1227)".

When used in date ranges, a circa is applied before each approximate date, while dates without a circa immediately preceding them are generally assumed to be known with certainty. For instance, the 1162 in the above example is approximate, but the August 18, 1227 is known.

approximately. It's also used in dates...when the exact date of a particular event is unknown, but when a date can be estimated, they say circa 1850 or whatever the approximated date is.

Approximately.

A period of time (about 1929 or 30 B.C.). I have never seen it used in reference to wages or cost.

Around. But in the case which you have given, I would say it probably means 'less than'. :)
