Monthly Surplus Income Payment=$0.00
The actual calculation for surplus income can be quite complicated and can affect the length of your bankruptcy.
The monthly amount is dedicated by the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act. Trustee’s do not have discretion in setting the calculation amount.
These calculations become more complex when one spouse is filing and the other is not. For a full understanding of your financial situation, talking to a Licensed Insolvency Trustee is key as there may be certain expenses that change the calculation.
