What the court was looking at
The marriage had run 9 years by the time it reached court, which puts it in the 7 to 15 years bracket. The husband was described as bank vp.
How it fits the framework
Since Rajnesh v. Neha in 2020, every maintenance order in India is meant to work through the same list of factors: the standard of living the marriage ran at, what the applicant reasonably needs, whether she is qualified and earning, and whether she gave up work for the family. A judgement from 2024 was decided before that list was written down, but the reasoning behind it is the reasoning courts had been applying for decades. There is a fuller account in how maintenance is calculated.
The calculator walks the same factors a magistrate does, then shows you the judgements nearest your facts.

Ranked by court, then by income bracket and marriage length rather than by date, so the comparison is with cases a court would actually treat as similar. Every row links to its own page.
