how is it calculated?
If a team exceeds the cap, it will be $233 million next year and will have to pay a base fee of 20% of the overage for the first time. If the same team exceeds the threshold for his second year in a row, he will have to pay 30% and will be penalized with his 50% for the excess in the third or more consecutive years.
Half of the taxed amount will be distributed to the teams that did not exceed the limit, and the rest will help the players’ union plan.
It is the annual average for each player that is part of the tax calculation structure, not the salary that player earns for that year.
Edwin Diaz receives an average of $20.4 million, but in 2023 his salary income will be $17.2 million. The amount of luxury tax that MLB will take into consideration will be US$20.4 million.
