We are filing chapter 7 in Pennsylvania. I was wondering how income is considered by the trustee. In particular, income in the form of bonuses. My salary structure is base salary + bonuses. However, my bonuses are not guaranteed. I only bonus if the company is successful in meeting their financial plan. If the company is not successful, which is often the case, then I do not receive this bonus. I have earned the bonus for the past few months, but I may never earn it again if the company does not perform. I always consider the bonus extra income and never count on it as income to pay the bills, etc. How will the trustee view this? Will they only take my guaranteed base salary in to account when looking at my financial situation? Or will the non-guaranteed bonuses be figured in even though I may never bonus again?
