How to Use the Nebraska Child Support Calculator
To use the Nebraska Child Support Calculator, simply enter the monthly income for both parents, the cost of health insurance for the children, any childcare costs, and the number of children you have.

Explanation of Calculations
The calculator takes into account the monthly incomes of both parents, the cost of health insurance for the children, and childcare costs. It assumes a basic child support obligation based on a simplified multiplier of $1000 per child for demonstrative purposes.
Child support is calculated based on the total combined income of both parents. Each parent’s share of the total income is computed, and the total child support obligation is then divided according to these shares. The additional costs of health insurance and childcare are added to the basic obligation before the final amounts are calculated.
