About SupportCalc
Empowering parents with free, accurate child support estimation tools for every U.S. state.
Our Mission
SupportCalc was founded with a single goal: to make child support calculations accessible, transparent, and free for every parent in the United States. Navigating the family court system can be overwhelming, and understanding what to expect from a child support order should not require expensive legal consultations or complex spreadsheet formulas.
We believe that every parent deserves access to the same information and tools used by courts and attorneys. Our calculator is designed to help you understand the child support guidelines in your state so you can make informed decisions for your family's future.
What We Offer
State-Specific Calculators
We provide dedicated child support calculators for all 50 states, each built to reflect that state's specific guidelines, formulas, and rules. Whether your state uses the Income Shares Model, the Percentage of Income Model, or the Melson Formula, our tools are tailored to produce the most accurate estimates possible.
Official Data Sources
Our calculators are based on publicly available state child support guidelines, statutes, and official worksheets. We regularly review and update our formulas to reflect changes in state laws, income schedules, and guideline revisions to ensure our estimates remain current and reliable.
100% Browser-Based Privacy
All calculations are performed entirely in your web browser. We do not collect, store, or transmit any personal or financial information to our servers. Your income data, custody arrangements, and calculation results remain completely private and are never shared with third parties.
Our Data Sources & Methodology
SupportCalc's calculations are derived from the official child support guidelines published by each state's judicial or human services department. Our primary data sources include:
- State child support guideline statutes and regulations
- Official state income schedules and support tables
- Court-published worksheets and calculation forms
- State child support enforcement agency publications
- Federal Office of Child Support Enforcement (OCSE) resources
We strive to keep our calculators up to date with the latest guideline changes. However, state laws are subject to change, and we recommend verifying your results against your state's most current official guidelines or consulting with a family law attorney.
Important Disclaimer
SupportCalc is an independent informational resource and is not affiliated with any government agency, court, or legal organization. The calculations provided by our tools are estimates based on publicly available state guidelines and are intended for informational and educational purposes only.
Our estimates may not reflect the exact amount a court will order. Family courts consider many factors beyond what a calculator can capture, including the specific circumstances of each case, the discretion of the judge, and additional expenses or adjustments not accounted for in guideline formulas.
Nothing on this website constitutes legal advice. For advice specific to your situation, please consult with a qualified family law attorney licensed in your jurisdiction.
