Use this Louisiana Child Support Calculator to quickly estimate your child support payments based on state guidelines.
How to Use the Louisiana Child Support Calculator
Enter the combined adjusted monthly income of both parents and select the number of children for whom child support is being calculated. Once you have entered the information, click the “Calculate” button to see the estimated child support obligation.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator estimates child support payments based on the combined adjusted monthly income and the number of children. The schedule used in the calculator is a simplified version of the actual Louisiana Child Support Guidelines, and thus, the result is an estimate. It searches for the appropriate income bracket and uses the corresponding base amount for the number of children.
Calculator Limitations
This calculator provides estimated amounts and should only be used for informational purposes. Actual child support amounts may vary due to a variety of factors such as health insurance costs, preexisting child support obligations, and custodial time percentages. For a definitive child support amount, please consult with a legal professional or the Louisiana Department of Children & Family Services.
