Estimate child support payments using the Australian Government formula
This calculator provides estimates only. Actual child support amounts are determined by Services Australia (Child Support) and may vary based on individual circumstances. For official assessments, contact Services Australia on 131 272.
Child support uses an 8-step formula considering both parents' incomes, care percentages, and the costs of raising children. The formula ensures fair contributions from both parents.
The amount of time children spend with each parent affects child support calculations. More care time generally means lower child support payments.
Child support is based on taxable income, including salary, bonuses, and investment income. Special circumstances may allow for adjustments.
