Child Support by State is an independent educational website. We build free, fast calculators and plain-language reference pages about how U.S. state child support guidelines turn parents’ incomes, parenting time and costs into a support amount.
What we do
- Calculators that follow the official formula. Each state calculator implements that state’s child support guideline: its statute or court rule and its official schedule or percentage table. Every result shows the worksheet lines behind it.
- Tested against official examples. Where a state publishes worked examples, our code is tested to reproduce them to the cent.
- Not legal advice. Results are estimates. Courts set child support orders and can deviate from the guideline. See our legal disclaimer.
- No selling. We do not sell products, we do not link to sellers, and we do not accept payment for reviews or placements.
Who we are
