Frequently Asked Questions
Is this an official or legally binding calculation?
No — child support calculations vary significantly by state/jurisdiction and consider many factors (both parents' incomes, custody time split, healthcare, childcare costs). This is a simplified illustrative estimate only — consult your jurisdiction's official guidelines or a family law attorney for accurate figures.
Why does the percentage increase with more children?
This reflects common "percentage of income" model guidelines where support obligations scale with the number of children, though the increase per additional child is less than linear since some costs are shared across children.
Do most states use this percentage-of-income model?
No — many states use an "Income Shares" model that considers both parents' combined income and custody time split, which can produce different results than a simple percentage of the non-custodial parent's income alone.
