# How the Salary Cap Works

GameDay Squad's unique salary cap system!

A Player Card's salary hit is determined by the rarity of that card, which will never be affected by past or future performances. The sum of the salary hits of your Player Cards on both The Field and The Bench will total your Squads salary cost.

Example:

Individuals players within the platform don't have a salary cap based on their individual performances, but rather based on the tier of their player card. This means its cost the same in salary cap to play a Gold star player as it does to play a Gold role player.

The salary cap breakdown by card rarity is provided below:
