Child Support Calculators
The KidsFirst! Child Support Calculator creates child support payment estimates based upon the formulas provided by the state legislature and accurate information from each parent. The child support payment estimates provided by KidsFirst! are only estimates because a judge has total discretion to increase or decrease the amount of child support.
When considering the exact amount of child support, judges consider principles of equity, fairness, and hardship plus any significant expenses. These calculation formulas are based upon only those children who are or will be covered by a custody agreement and court order so does not include other children living at the home of one parent but who is from another relationship.
These calculation formulas are based upon only children who live most of the time with one parent under a joint physical or sole physical custody agreement but do not consider an equal time sharing arrangement.

the amount of child support depends upon many factors, including parental time with child, respective incomes, etc.
