Free Child Support Calculators

In order to get a rough idea of what your child support obligation is, use our Child Support Calculators. All states have formulas for how to determine child support, and these statutory formulas vary from state to state.

The Child Support Calculators, which are specific to your state, are estimates, which are constructed around the pertinent information you provide.

All calculations are based on one parent having residential custody of the child(ren).

The amount of child support a court will order for any particular case may be different from the amount estimated by this calculator. Essentially these calculators assume that all of the children will primarily live with one parent. It is not intended to estimate situations where there is joint physical custody or split custody. Other factors may affect a child support order entered by a court. The intent of this calculator is informational. It does not constitute legal advice. This child support calculator is based on statutory guidelines. It does not take into consideration extraordinary expenses. The court has the final authority to determine the amount of child support awarded. This number is only an estimate and is not a guarantee of the amount of child support that will be awarded. Other factors may affect the amount of child support awarded. Please see an attorney in your area for more detailed information.

Please note that the use of the calculators does not constitute legal advice.
