Will be interesting going from covid cap:
Year, increase %, total cap
2019-20: 2.5%, 81,500,000
20/21: 0%, 81,500,000
21/22: 0%, 81,500,000
22/23: 1.23%, 82,500,000
23/24: 1.21%, 83,500,000
To inflation cap:
(Estimation/rounding for simplicity of 5% per year for 5 years for simple math, could be more)
Year, total cap, estimated increase
2024/25: 87,675,000 - increase of 4.175M
2025/26: 92,058,075 - increase of ~4.4M
2026/27: 96,660,000 - increase of ~4.6M
2027/28: 101,500,000 - increase of ~4.8M
2028/29: 106,500,000 - increase of ~5.1M
The odd thing is that some individuals believe that the cap will hit 100M in 2026/27. Obviously that’s much more than 5% after next season. It’s 6s the whole way. If you put 6% in instead of 5% for 5 years, the 5th year cap is 111,740,000 and it went up over 6.3 mil that offseason.
