The amount of food stamps a household gets depends on how many people are in the household and how much monthly net income remains after taking allowable deductions. The county welfare department takes the maximum amount of food stamp benefits a household can get for the number of people in the household, and then deducts 30 percent of the household's net income. As of June 2008, the current maximum monthly allotment for a two-person household is $298.00. This means that for every ten dollars of net income the household has, the food stamp office will reduce the food stamp allotment by three dollars.

Take your monthly income and subtract your monthly bills and cost of living expenses (gas, groceries, etc.) The money that is left is consider disposable income.
If your gross income is $200,000 per year, and you pay 33% in taxes, etc., that would leave a net income of $134,000 per year, or roughly $11,170 per month. Add up the last twelve months of utilities, mortgage, insurance, etc., then divide by twelve, since there are twelve months in a year, and this will give you the monthly average for your expenses. For example if the average of your monthly expenses is: * Mortgage $2,000 * Utilities $500 * Insurance $500 * Food $800 * Medical $200 * Car payments $400 * Clothing $500 * Miscellaneous $100 That would be a total of $5,000 in expenses per month, leaving an excess of $6,170 each month. Divide the total average monthly expenses by your net monthly income, which will give you approximately 45%. You then subtract .45 from 1.0 (or 45 from 100), which will give you .55 or 55%, which is the percentage of your net income used on your household budget. If you want the average based on your gross income of $200,000, then you do it the same way, by dividing the total average monthly expenses by your total monthly gross income.
You should make sure that all of your planned monthly expenses do not exceed your monthly income.
None. Net income is after deducting expenses.
