Why We Built This
The 2026 collective bargaining agreement was a watershed moment for women's professional basketball. The salary cap jumped from $1.5 million to $7 million per team. Superstars went from earning $249,000 to $1.4 million. Rookies who earned $78,000 in 2025 now earn $500,000.
Yet when fans searched "how much does Caitlin Clark make?" or "what is the women's basketball salary cap?", the answers were buried across dozens of paywalled articles, outdated pages, and complicated CBA documents. We built HerHoopPay.com to fix that — one clear, free, always-updated reference.
The pay gap between women's professional basketball and the NBA remains significant and is a topic of genuine public interest. We believe transparent, accessible salary data helps fans, advocates, and media hold the conversation grounded in facts.
