Formula Used
The child support payment is calculated using the following formula:
Child Support Payment = (Parent's Income - Deductions) × Percentage Based on Number of Children
The deductions include the basic personal amount and other allowable deductions. The percentage applied depends on the number of children:
| Number of Children | Percentage Applied |
|---|---|
| 1 | 17.5% |
| 2 | 22.5% |
| 3 or more | 25% |
For example, if the parent's income is $50,000 and there are two children, the calculation would be:
($50,000 - $10,000) × 22.5% = $8,125
Worked Example
Let's calculate the child support payment for a parent with a gross income of $60,000 and two children.
- Subtract the basic personal amount: $60,000 - $10,000 = $50,000
- Apply the percentage for two children: 22.5%
- Calculate the payment: $50,000 × 0.225 = $11,250
The estimated child support payment would be $11,250 per month.
