overplus
More than needed
Overplus is a surplus or excess—the amount remaining beyond what is needed or expected.
The word is archaic and literary, largely replaced by surplus in modern usage: The overplus of grain was stored for winter.
It occasionally appears in legal or financial contexts referring to amounts exceeding a specified sum.
