Garnishments are subtracted post-tax from the employee’s disposable income. Depending upon the type of garnishment, the rate will be between 15% (nontax debt to federal agencies) and 55% (child support in arrears) with consumer credit coming in the middle at 25%. Items such as Union dues and health insurance are not counted toward the reduction to disposable income.
