Missouri Child Support Calculator
Planning estimate for Missouri 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
Both gross incomes form the base for this site’s child-budget proxy. Entered care and insurance are allocated in the same proportions, while nights select the modeled payer. The Missouri guideline calculation and judicial findings are outside the model. 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 Missouri Courts, Form 14 Child Support: https://www.courts.mo.gov/page.jsp?id=638.

How This Calculator Works
Calculation methodology and assumptions
Both gross incomes form the base for this site’s child-budget proxy. Entered care and insurance are allocated in the same proportions, while nights select the modeled payer. The Missouri guideline calculation and judicial findings are outside the model. This tool does not implement the state guideline; none is an official guideline amount.
Key State Information
Income Shares guideline context: Missouri Revised Statutes §452.340 directs the court to consider the child’s needs, each parent’s resources, custody and visitation arrangements, and reasonable work-related child-care expenses. The planning model does not weigh those legal factors or calculate a guideline order.
Example Calculation
Two Missouri household budgets
At $64,000 and $40,000 annual gross income, two children, 220 nights with Parent 1, $6,000 care and $2,400 insurance, the modeled Parent 2 share is $1,002.56 per month.
Result: At $52,000 and $34,000, one child, 175 nights, $3,000 care and $1,800 insurance, Parent 1’s proxy is $978.53 monthly. Neither amount evaluates the statute’s factors.

Our editorial standardsFrequently Asked Questions
Does the model account for visitation expenses?
No. Section 452.340 lists custody and visitation arrangements and associated reasonable expenses among factors for the court; this tool does not assess them.
