What do the bankruptcy guidelines allow for income for a family of four, and what percentage above that do they take?

A family of four is allowed to have take home income of $3,303 per month in 2006 (the numbers are updated each year). More details can be found at surplus income. The calculation is complicated, and there are certain deductions allowed, so we suggest you meet with a licensed trustee to go through the calculation for you and your family.
