How to Use the Florida Child Support Calculator
This calculator estimates monthly child support based on Florida guidelines. Follow these steps:
- Enter Parent 1’s Monthly Gross Income – Include all income (e.g., salary, bonuses). Use dollars.
- Enter Parent 2’s Monthly Gross Income – Same as above.
- Enter Number of Children – The total children requiring support (minimum 1).
- Enter Overnights per Year for Each Parent – How many nights the child stays with each parent annually (0–365). The sum should not exceed 365.
- Enter Other Children Supported – Number of additional children each parent legally supports (e.g., from other relationships).
- Click “Calculate” – The result shows the estimated monthly transfer amount and which parent pays.
Important: All fields must be filled with valid numbers. Incomes must be ≥ 0, children ≥ 1, overnights between 0 and 365, and other children ≥ 0. The calculator uses a simplified Florida guideline table and shared parenting adjustments.
