there are no specific calculations and the cases are decided based upon its facts and circumstances. it is not alimony rather maintenance that is being paid every month. you may mutually settle the matter and by paying a lump sum, seek divorce by mutual consent.
INTERIM ALIMONY is some what we can say a amount provide for overcome litigation expenses etc by wife & same is calculated according to parties status , if possible seek mutual divorce it will reduce cost of litigation as well as time.
She will not be entitled to any maintenance from you after her re-marriage, if any. However, meantime, you should start payment of at least Rs. ten thousand per month pending any order that may be passed by the court.
