The Phoenix Suns carry $193,028,455 in salary for 2026–27, the 18th largest payroll in the league.

That is $51.3M over the $165.0M salary cap, so the roster gets built through exceptions, re-signings and trades rather than cap space.

They are $15.8M over the $200.4M luxury-tax line, and at that payroll the tax bill projects to $58,082,283 — a combined cost of $251,110,738.

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 +$5.5M 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.

Devin Booker is the largest cap hit on the roster at $57,078,728, 29.6% of team payroll, ahead of Jalen Green ($36.3M) and Miles Bridges ($22.8M).

They have $7,048,494 of spending power available across 2 exceptions, the largest a $5.0M TPE (Nick Richards).

Committed salary drops to $176,213,374 for 2027-28, held by 12 players still under contract, against a projected $176,000,000 cap.

One of their future draft picks is frozen and cannot be traded (2032).
