Mid-Level Exception Tracker There are three types of Mid-Level Exceptions (MLEs):
Room Mid-Level Exception Requirements: Team is below the cap Team must not have already used any of the following in the active season:Bi-Annual Exception Non-Taxpayer MLE Taxpayer MLE
Non-Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception: Team is below the tax apron, but above the cap First year salary of the signed contract results in the team remaining below the tax apron Team must not have already used any of the following in the active season: Taxpayer Mid-Level Exception: First year salary of the signed contract results in the team's cap hit exceeding the tax apron 2023 CBA Addition: The team must be below the 2nd apron Team must not have already used any of the following in the active season:Bi-Annual Exception Cap Room/Room Exception Room MLE Non-Taxpayer MLE The MLE can be split among multiple contracts as long as the sum of the cap hit does not exceed the MLE limits
MLE limits for the 2024-25 season:
Room MLE: $7,983,000 Non-Taxpayer MLE: $12,822,000 Taxpayer MLE: $5,168,000 This tool will automatically reduce a value to $0 in space if it is not possible to use the exception at the current time. For example, if the team has more cap room than the maximum Non-Taxpayer MLE amount, the Non-Taxpayer MLE will be reduced to $0. If the team later increases their payroll to where the Non-Taxpayer MLE is feasible, the space will then display as a value greater than $0
