The PPP provided more than 11.7 million forgivable loans totaling nearly $800 billion to small businesses and other eligible entities hurt by the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Almost $400 billion has been forgiven. Loans of $150,000 or less account for 93% of outstanding PPP loans, the SBA said.

Is the PPP loan 100% forgiven?

The main draw of the SBA's Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) is that you can get up to 100% of the loan forgiven. But how much you actually qualify for depends on what you spend the money on during those first 24 weeks after your loan is disbursed.

How do I know if my PPP loan is forgiven?

Loans received after March 3, 2021 can use their 2019 or 2020 gross income if they used their gross income to apply. If you didn't have any other payroll expenses factoring into your PPP loan amount, this means your entire PPP loan could be forgiven for the 24-week period.
