Meaning of "capped to"

[Yuppie]

Dear All,

Can you please tell me what "capped to" means in this statement:

"Salary progression is capped to the next higher level above the salary level attached to the post"

Thank you in anticipation.

[Mister Micawber]

'Capping' is instituting a maximum. The highest salary attainable for the current post is the salary level of the next position above this one.

I would expect 'at', though your sentence uses 'to'.
