Idaho Child Support Calculator
Planning estimate for Idaho child support using a generic gross-income heuristic. Does not implement the state guideline or determine a court order.
Estimate only — these are not official figures
The site’s proxy uses the parents’ annual gross income shares, 17% for one child plus 5 percentage points per additional child through five, and entered annual care and insurance costs. The parent with fewer nights is the modeled payer. It does not apply the Idaho guidelines or determine the court’s final amount. This tool does not implement the state guideline; none is an official guideline amount.
Do not rely on these amounts for budgeting or payment. For exact amounts, check the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, Child Support: https://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/services-programs/children-families/child-support-services.

How This Calculator Works
Calculation methodology and assumptions
The site’s proxy uses the parents’ annual gross income shares, 17% for one child plus 5 percentage points per additional child through five, and entered annual care and insurance costs. The parent with fewer nights is the modeled payer. It does not apply the Idaho guidelines or determine the court’s final amount. This tool does not implement the state guideline; none is an official guideline amount.
Key State Information
Income Shares guideline context: Idaho Child Support Services says proposed amounts are calculated using both parents’ income and expenses under the Idaho Supreme Court guidelines, then filed with the court. Either party may respond and present information; the court sets the final amount. This page does not calculate that proposal.
Example Calculation
From entered expenses to a monthly proxy
For $58,000 and $34,000 in annual gross income, two children, 215 nights with Parent 1, $5,400 child care and $2,100 insurance, Parent 2’s modeled amount is $854.31 per month.
Result: At $45,000 and $40,000 with three children, 200 nights with Parent 1, $9,000 in care and $3,000 in insurance, the model assigns Parent 2 $1,370.59 monthly. Idaho’s actual proposal follows its own guidelines.
