Legal​Con​sumer​.com Bank­ruptcy Means Test Cal­cu­la­tor has Been Updated — April 1, 2021 Median Income Updates

April 1, 2021 by Albin Renauer

April 1, 2021 Median Income Update for Bank­ruptcy Means Test

The Means Test Cal­cu­la­tor on the Legal​Con​sumer​.com web­site has been updated to incor­po­rate the fact that The Exec­u­tive Office for U.S. Trustees (EOUST) has pub­lished its updated April 1, 2021 median income data for the bank­ruptcy means test.

New Median Income num­bers up 1.2% across the board

The gov­ern­ment seems to have punted this round on its median income data, because it does not seem to be unique to each state.

Instead the gov­ern­ment seems to have just padded each state’s num­ber from last year by 1.2%.

Some­times these updates are state spe­cific, other times they are just gen­eral increases apply to all 50 states.

No expla­na­tion is ever given of why it’s done dif­fer­ent ways dif­fer­ent times. Pre­sum­ably the same data is there every round but some­times they just choose to treat all states the same. It is a mystery…

Free Online Means Test Cal­cu­la­tor has been updated

Nev­er­the­less, mine is not ques­tion why, but rather to update the free bank­ruptcy means test cal­cu­la­tor any­time they change their tables.

And I have done that.

You can find the new, updated April 1, 2021 Means Test Cal­cu­la­tor here.

Cal­cu­la­tor Has a New Look

You might also notice a new look for the cal­cu­la­tor as of today.

The new design has a smaller font and a very handy Table of Con­tents which makes it pos­si­ble to use the cal­cu­la­tor — even on a smart­phone — espe­cially in land­scape mode.

I hope you like the new, more phone-​friendly design. It’s not easy to auto­mate an 8 page form for a phone! But I’m doing my best.

Let me know what you think!
