If you go bankrupt, you are required to contribute an amount each month to your bankruptcy estate based on your monthly income, and the size of your family.

Here is a link you to a surplus income worksheet to help you do the calculations.

There are many rules related to surplus income, so you we strongly advise that you contact a licensed trustee to explain the calculation in detail before you decide to file for bankruptcy. If you have significant surplus income, in most cases a consumer proposal is a better option.

So Surplus income is *net* income and not gross? Say I made $2,450 but pay $350 in deductions and $500 in child support I would have a net income of $1,600? So if I have a single dependant they compare the $1,600 to the $2,141 and not my gross $2,450?In theory I could make $2,141 + deductions + support before I have surplus?
