GUIDELINE CALCULATOR

The California Child Support Guideline Calculator is based on the same legal guidelines used in California courts, and can be used to estimate the amount of child support that may be ordered in your case.

This calculator provides only an estimate and is not a guarantee of the amount of support that will be ordered. The county child support commissioner or family law judge has the final authority to determine the amount of a child support order.

If you have any questions about the child support guidelines, you should talk with a lawyer or contact a Family Law Facilitator. You can download the guideline calculator user guide for more help with the tool.

If you have unpaid child support debt, you can figure out how long it will take to pay it off with our Arrears Payoff Calculator.
