example: DEA
Pay 700.00
Tax 95.60
NIC 65.16
Pen 4.70
Net Earnings= £534.54, over 520 so @ 20% = 106.91
SLD of 32.00 , The deductions of 106.91+32.00= 138.91 are less that 40% of Net Earnings 534.54=213.82
DEAH
As above, Net Earnings= £534.54, over 520 so @ 40% = 213.82,
SLD of 32.00 , The deductions of 213.82+32.00= 255.82 are greater that 40% of Net Earnings 534.54=213.82
So the DEA needs to be reduced to 213.82-32.00 = £181.82
All this is done automatically by CalcPay.
however SLD of 32.00 will bring the deductions over 40% of

A priority AEO means that if there has been any shortfall in the deduction (because there is insufficient funds between the Attachable & the Protected earnings) then that shortfall is carried forward against subsequent pay periods. For a Non Priority this shortfall is not carried forward, this results in the full debt being paid over a longer time period. DEO's are priority.

1 FIXED DEBT
Deductions are taken off until the debt is cleared.
2 MAINTENANCE DEBT
