Stepping through the calculations, where:

a = Gross Pay of member

b = VA waiver

c = Gross Pay after subtracting allowable VA waiver, or adjusted gross

d = SBP Base Amount

e = Spousal Percentage of MRB (Time-rule percentage or court ordered percentage)

f = Spousal Percentage of SBP Cost Ordered (Percentage of SBP, i.e. 0.0%, 10%, 50%, 60%, 100%)

g = Actual cost of the SBP Premium

h = Gross Pay less VA and SBP cost

i = Spousal Share of MRB without reduction for SBP Cost

j = Spousal Share of SBP Cost ordered (dollars)

k = Spousal Share of MRB Adjusted for Share of SBP Cost

X = Adjusted Spousal Percentage of MRB (reflecting the shifting of cost of the SBP premium).

(a - b) = c	(d * 0.065) = g	(a - b - g) = h

(c * e) = i	(f * g) = j	(i * j) = k

k/h = X
