The Golden State Warriors carry $220,838,432 in salary for 2026-27, the 2nd largest payroll in the league.

That is $55.9M over the $165.0M salary cap, so the roster gets built through exceptions, re-signings and trades rather than cap space.

They are $20.4M over the $200.4M luxury-tax line, and at that payroll the tax bill projects to $86,226,416 — a combined cost of $307,064,848.

Above the first apron at $209.0M, they lose the non-taxpayer mid-level, cannot take back more salary than they send out in a trade, and cannot acquire a player by sign-and-trade. They stay +$0.3M clear of the second apron.

They are hard-capped at the 2nd Apron ($221.7M), a ceiling the payroll cannot cross for the rest of the season by any means.

This team has 15 players on standard contracts and 3 two-way deals.

Stephen Curry is the largest cap hit on the roster at $62,587,158, 28.3% of team payroll, ahead of Jimmy Butler ($56.8M) and Draymond Green ($27.7M).

They have $2,221,677 of spending power available across 1 exception, the largest a $2.2M TPE (Trayce Jackson-Davis).

Committed salary drops to $135,548,924 for 2027-28, held by 9 players still under contract, against a projected $176,000,000 cap.
