I'm about to order a transformer to build my own power supply. It is 30VA with 2x12v secondary. I know how to calculate the output (in mA) for single secondary. But in this case is the 30 VA shared between the two secondary or each secondary has 30 VA output (which I expect)?

Thanks in advance.

VA are normally listed as total for the entire transformer.
You will get 1.25A per channel.
