Total $ 55,750  $ 47,696  $ 40,036 
During 2021 and 2020, we did not enter into any new pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swaps to hedge against changes in the fair value attributable to benchmark interest rates related to our outstanding senior notes. The total notional amount of outstanding pay-variable, receive-fixed interest rate swaps was $12.0 billion as of December 25, 2021 and $12.0 billion as of December 26, 2020. In 2019, we unwound $7.1 billion of these swaps, resulting in a $111 million gain to be amortized over the remaining life of the debt.

Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
The before-tax net gains or losses attributed to the effective portion of cash flow hedges recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) were $434 million net losses in 2021 ($806 million net gains in 2020 and $11 million net losses in 2019). Substantially all of our cash flow hedges are foreign currency contracts for all periods presented.
Amounts excluded from effectiveness testing were insignificant during all periods presented.
