Surplus Income Calculation For A Family Of 5

The amount allowed for basic living expenses for a household of 5 is currently $3,941.  So, that amount is deducted from the household income and the amount you would be expected to pay based on your income would be a percentage of what's left over. If you'd like to have a look at the Government Directive that sets out the amounts and the calculation, here is the link: Surplus Income Directive If you have any questions about the calculation, feel free to get in touch with me.
