Child Support Calculator

Estimating child support payments can help families better understand their financial responsibilities and plan for the future. This online calculator provides an estimate of potential child support obligations based on basic financial information. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) practitioners can use this tool as a conversation starter with families, helping participants better understand the child support process while encouraging informed financial planning. Because child support guidelines vary by state, estimates should be used for educational purposes only.
