Tax Bill Ladder
All 30 teams lined up by distance to the Tax, with what each pays in every bracket and what one more, or one fewer, vet min would cost. Pick a team below to move contracts on and off its books.
2027-28 counts every contract on the books, including player options, team options and non-guaranteed deals. Empty roster spots are not filled, so a team carrying 9 players will rise as it fills out its roster. Lines are the workbook's projections: Tax $213.0M, aprons $223.0M and $236.0M.

Bracket cells fill as each $6.064M bracket is used
Vet min = $2.449M, what a 1-year veteran minimum deal counts for on the Cap and Tax
Tax Variance = extra tax if the unchecked unlikely incentives are earned. Checked ones count in the Tax salary. Aprons always count them all.
