Use Worksheet 9.2. Bruce Kaplan, a 35-year-old computer programmer, earns $89,000 a year. His monthly take-home pay is $5,350. His wife, Barbara, works part-time at their children's elementary school but receives no benefits. Under state law, Barbara's employer contributes to a worker's compensation insurance fund that would provide $1,350 per month for six months if Bruce were disabled and unable to work.
