Alimony goes from the total income or from tax deducted income ?

You need to show your expenses and satisfy the court that your wife is also earning and is capable of maintaining herself. As far as the salary is concerned the money you get after the deductions of taxes will be applicable for your wife’s alimony.

Yes your expenses will be taken into consideration by the court while deciding the maintenance or alimony. Your net take home would be taken into account minus expenses. For further detailed consultation you may connect

There is no fixed formula or hard and fast rule for the calculation of alimony that the husband needs to provide to his wife. The alimony can be provided as a periodical or monthly payment, or as a one-time payment in the form of a lump-sum amount. If the alimony is being paid on a monthly basis, the Supreme Court of India has set 25% of the husband’s net monthly salary as the benchmark amount that should be granted to the wife. There is no such benchmark for one-time settlement, but usually, the amount ranges between 1/5th to 1/3rd of the husband’s net worth. That said, there are certain factors that are taken into consideration by the court while computing the alimony amount. Such factors may be varied and may include the following: Husband’s and wife’s incomes and other properties, if any Conduct of both the husband and the wife Mandatory deductions such as income tax, EMIs, loan repayments etc. are considered to calculate the net income of the husband Liabilities of the husband, such as dependent parents Social status and lifestyle of both the parties Age and health condition of both the parties The period for which the couple had been married Expenses for education and upbringing of the child/children
