What is the maximum percent of wage garnishment?

When it pertains to creditor debt, the maximum federal amount is allowed.

Is the 25 percent maximum garnishment per creditor or for all creditors combined?

The 25% is for all creditors. It is a queue system, first come, first served. If deductions from your pay in the form of child support equal 25%, then those in the garnishment queue get nothing. Keep in mind that the state and federal government do not need to stand in this line. If the debt you owe is to the state or federal governments, they will take 100% until the debt is paid.

How do they know how much to take out of your check when they are garnishing your wages?

The federal government sets the maximum wage garnishment for creditor debt at 25% of disposable income, with the first $154.50 ( based on weekly income) being exempt from garnishment . Some states use the federal amount others set their own wage garnishment percentages, the debtor is garnished at the amount that is the lowest. Child support deductions do not count as garnishment and can be set at a maximum of 50% of total income. Additionally child support orders can run consecutively with a creditor garnishment but two creditors cannot garnish the debtor at the same time.
