How to Use the Ohio Child Support Calculator
This tool estimates monthly child support payments based on Ohio guidelines. Follow these steps:
- Enter Parent 1’s Monthly Income — Input gross monthly income in dollars (e.g., 4000).
- Enter Parent 2’s Monthly Income — Input gross monthly income in dollars (e.g., 3000).
- Select Number of Children — Choose from 1 to 6+ from the dropdown.
- Enter Parenting Time — Input the number of days per year the child spends with Parent 1 (0–365).
- Click “Calculate” — The result shows the estimated monthly payment from Parent 1 to Parent 2.
Key Points:
- All incomes must be in US dollars and positive. At least one parent must have income.
- Parenting time is measured in days per year (e.g., 183 for equal time).
- If parenting time is 183 days or more, a shared parenting adjustment reduces the payment.
- The basic obligation is capped based on number of children (see calculation details below results).
Note: This is an estimate. Actual support may vary based on additional factors like health insurance or special expenses.
