It's 25% of your gross income, minus necessary deductions from the government, or minimum wage X 30 (to simulate working a 30 hour week). But, if the garnishment is for child support, taxes, or a criminal matter, the amount increases to 50%. Also, there are federally exempt benefits, like some pensions, workmen's comp, and most federal aid, that garnishments cannot be attached to.
