Child Support Calculator

Parenting of Children

This step involves entering all children of the marriage and identifying their primary parent. Enter dependent children using the following form by pressing the green "+" button. Then, select the parenting arrangement applicable to each child. "Shared" parenting applies only where both parents each have a minimum of 40% of total parenting time. Most children spend 60% or more time with one parent, in which case please select that parent.

Special child-related expenses are governed by section 7 of the Child Support Guidelines, and are apportioned between separated parents based on income after taking into consideration any child support payments. Special expenses include tuition, medical expenses, child care expenses, and other child-related costs.

In the form below, input the annual estimated net total of all such out-of-pocket costs, after deducting the net value of any tax benefits or credits received in relation to the expense first.

It is important that tax benefits such as credits for private education, activities, or medical expenses be deducted from the total expense otherwise the calculation will be inaccurate.
