60 40 Child Support Calculator Ontario

This calculator helps you determine 60/40 child support payments in Ontario based on the official guidelines. Child support is calculated based on the income of both parents and the number of children involved. The 60/40 split means one parent pays 60% of the total support amount while the other pays 40%.

How This Calculator Works

The 60/40 child support calculator follows Ontario's official child support guidelines. The calculation process involves several steps:

Determine the total child support amount based on both parents' incomes
Calculate the 60% and 40% split of the total support amount
Adjust for any deductions or credits
Provide the final monthly payment amounts for each parent

The calculator uses the current Ontario child support formula which takes into account the number of children, each parent's income, and other relevant factors.

Ontario Child Support Guidelines

Ontario's child support guidelines are designed to ensure that children receive financial support from both parents. The guidelines consider:

Each parent's income
Number of children
Number of nights each child spends with each parent
Any special needs of the child
Any court-ordered deductions

The 60/40 split is one of several possible payment arrangements. Other common splits include 50/50, 70/30, and 80/20.

Total Child Support = (Parent 1 Income × 0.6) + (Parent 2 Income × 0.4)
