Required Documentation Guide
This information was gathered from the Interim Final Rule of Paycheck Protection Program as Amended by Economic Aid Act (1/6/2021) and Interim Final Rule on Second Draw Loan (1/6/2021). This is a guide for businesses and does not release the borrower of their obligation to know and abide by Interim Final Rules, guidance or law governing the Paycheck Protection Program.
General Concepts
- To calculate annual payroll costs, businesses may use either the Calendar Year 2019 or 2020. Additionally, if not a self-employed individual, sole proprietorship, or an independent contractor, businesses may choose to use the precise preceding 12-month period to calculate payroll costs.
- Maximum loan amount:
- First Draw PPP Loans: Lesser of $10 million or 2.5 x average monthly payroll
- Second Draw PPP Loans: Lesser of $2 million or 2.5 x average monthly payroll (Exception: Accommodation and Food Services businesses (with a NAICS Code beginning with 72) may borrow up to 3.5 x average monthly payroll)
- Independent contractors do not count as employees for purposes of a borrower's PPP loan calculation
