New York Child Support Calculator
Planning estimate for New York 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 uses combined entered gross income and a generic 17% for one child plus five percentage points per additional child through five. It adds entered costs and allocates by income share. It does not apply §413’s statutory income calculation, percentages or adjustments. 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 New York Family Court Act §413: https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/laws/FCT/413.

How This Calculator Works
Calculation methodology and assumptions
The site uses combined entered gross income and a generic 17% for one child plus five percentage points per additional child through five. It adds entered costs and allocates by income share. It does not apply §413’s statutory income calculation, percentages or adjustments. This tool does not implement the state guideline; none is an official guideline amount.
Key State Information
Income Shares guideline context: New York Family Court Act §413 defines child-support percentages of 17% for one child and 25% for two children, applied under its statutory rules to combined parental income. The statute also specifies income definitions, add-ons and other provisions. This site’s proxy uses a different two-child rate and does not calculate the statutory obligation.
Example Calculation
Why the statutory percentage matters
For annual gross incomes of $80,000 and $50,000, two children, 230 nights with Parent 1, $7,200 care and $3,600 insurance, Parent 2’s proxy is $1,262.82 monthly. Its 22% budget rate is not the statutory 25% rate.
Result: With one child, $65,000 and $40,000 income, 170 nights, $3,600 care and $1,800 insurance, Parent 1’s modeled amount is $1,199.40 monthly. It still omits statutory income definitions and adjustments.

Our editorial standardsFrequently Asked Questions
Does this apply New York’s two-child percentage?
No. Family Court Act §413 defines 25% for two children; this generic proxy uses 22%, before allocating the modeled amount. Statutory income definitions and other rules also differ.
