Estimate only — these are not official figures

Instead of Maine’s table, the proxy applies a generic percentage to the gross incomes entered, adds care and insurance, and divides by income share. Nights select a payer but do not calculate the statutory substantially equal care rule. 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 Maine DHHS, Child Support Services: https://www.maine.gov/dhhs/ofi/programs-services/child-support-services.

How This Calculator Works

Calculation methodology and assumptions

Key State Information

Income Shares guideline context: Maine’s 19-A M.R.S. §2006 directs the court or hearing officer to combine annual gross incomes and use a child support table to find the basic support entitlement. The statute describes locating the closest combined-income figure, finding the amount for the number of children and multiplying by that number. It specifies additions in particular circumstances, including child care when each child is under age 12, certain extraordinary medical expenses, and qualifying private health insurance. It also describes dividing the total obligation in proportion to gross incomes. This generic percentage model does not use that table.

Example Calculation

Maine’s table and this proxy

For one child with gross annual incomes of $62,000 and $34,000, 240 Parent 1 nights, $3,000 care and $1,800 insurance, the proxy assigns Parent 2 $623.33 per month.

Result: Two children, incomes of $50,000 and $40,000, 190 nights, $6,000 care and $2,400 insurance yield $1,044.44 monthly for Parent 2. A table calculation could differ.
