Formula and Assumptions

The Ontario Child Support Guidelines 2006 use the following formula to calculate child support:

Monthly Child Support Payment = (Paying Parent's Income - Deductions) × Percentage

Where:

Paying Parent's Income - Gross monthly income of the parent paying support
Deductions - Standard deductions and allowances
Percentage - Percentage of income to be paid as child support

The guidelines include standard deductions for:

Basic personal amount
Spousal support
Medical expenses
Dental expenses
Educational expenses

Note: The 2006 guidelines are based on the Income Tax Act and may not reflect current tax laws. Always consult with a legal professional for the most accurate information.

Worked Example

Let's calculate child support for a scenario where:

Paying parent's income: $3,500 per month
Number of children: 2
Additional expenses: $200 per month

Using the formula:

1. Calculate total income: $3,500

2. Subtract standard deductions: $3,500 - $1,200 = $2,300

3. Apply percentage: $2,300 × 15% = $345

4. Add additional expenses: $345 + $200 = $545

5. Divide by number of children: $545 ÷ 2 = $272.50 per child

The estimated monthly child support payment for each child would be $272.50.
