It is your gross v her gross income. You can find alimony calculators online.

Depending on how much you earn, a maintenance calculator will only give you part of the picture. There is a mathematical formula that the Court will use to calculate your obligation based on your income up to the statutory cap of $175,000,. If your income exceeds $175,000, the court will consider additional factors to determine if you should pay more than the amount resulting from the formula.
