The 21-year-old accepted the punishment - believed to be around £120,000 - after being pictured outside a strip club in Liverpool in the early hours of Friday morning, contravening club rules ahead of Saturday's game against Bolton.
Balotelli went on to play and score in the Premier League leaders' 2-0 win at the Etihad Stadium but Mancini pledged to investigate.
"I spoke with Mario and gave him a fine of one week's wages for what he did," Mancini said.
"This is normal because every player should have good behaviour before the game."
It is the second time Balotelli has broken a curfew this season, among a host of other high-profile misdemeanours.
