Can someone help me calculate wage garnishment?

So i may be garnished for around 10k. I make about 1400 every two weeks and take home after taxes, medical etc around 1050. If NJ is a 10 percent state gross or 25 percent disposable. How would that work out with the exempt amount i read about, a # times the minimum wage or anything like that. I'm a little confused on the topic, can someone help me?
10% gross 25% of disposal earnings whichever is less but no exec
10% gross 25% of disposal earnings whichever is less but no execution on gross wages of $154.50 or less a week (Source: 15 USC, 1671 et seq,: 29 C. F. R., 5870; N.J.S.A. 2A: 17-50).
You would be looking at $140 maximum. It would probably be less when they determine what your disposable income is.
