There is a formula that includes protection allowances. If you want to calculate by hand, you’ll get a better idea of how changes impact you: http://www.ifap.ed.gov/fsahandbook/attachments/0910AVGCh3.pdf. Look for the formula sheets at the end of the chapter & find the one that fits you (dependent, independent, etc).
