How do I calculate child support for a primary custody
arrangement?
To figure out the child support for a primary custody
arrangement, do the following calculation:
Gross income -
Deductions = Adjusted Income (AI)
AI x Percentage
(see below) = Child Support
1 kid: 20% 3
kids: 33%
2 kids: 27% More
kids: 3% for each
If the calculation results in a support amount below $50.00,
the support amount will be $50.00 a month.
The minimum calculation for a primary custody arrangement is $50.00.
If your AI is over $120,000, you may be eligible to use the
high income cap. Rule 90.3 says that the portion of an adjusted annual income
over $120,000 will not be used in calculating the child support amount, unless
the other parent presents evidence showing the higher income should be used in
the calculation. If the cap is used, the
AI will be $120,000 for the calculation.
