DEFINITION of 'Soft Money' Soft money is money that is donated to political parties where the purpose is not to promote a specific candidate. Soft money is largely unregulated, and there is no cap on it. Political parties can essentially spend it on whatever they want as long as it fits a generic objective to increase the vote. Soft money is often called nonfederal contributions.
In sports, a salary cap is a preset limit on the amount of money that teams can spend on player salaries over the course of one year. There are two forms of salary caps-a hard cap and a soft cap.A hard cap, which is used by leagues such as the NFL and NHL, means that teams can not spend above a certain amount or else they will be subject to potentially severe sanctions. soft cap, on the other hand, is when teams are allowed to spend above a certain amount if they are willing to incur a financial penalty (usually known as a luxury tax). Both Major League Baseball (MLB) and the National Basketball Association (NBA) employ soft caps with luxury taxes.
