It's "more than we need". For example, you need one bag of rice to survive the winter, and in Fall you collected 1.5 bags of rice. So you ended up with a 0.5 bag of rice sulprus. Same concept applies on a big scale in economy when goverment expected to collect this much money from taxes and trade, but ended up with more money than planned.
