Wisconsin Child Support Calculator
How to Use the Calculator
To use this child support calculator, simply enter your monthly income before taxes and the number of children. After filling out these fields, click the “Calculate” button to see your estimated monthly child support payment. Make sure all inputs are in numerical format without any additional symbols or characters (except for the decimal point in the income field).
How the Calculation Works
The child support calculation is based on established guidelines by the State of Wisconsin, which set a percentage of the parent’s monthly income that increases with the number of children. Here are the percentages used for the calculation:
- 1 child – 17%
- 2 children – 25%
- 3 children – 29%
- 4 children – 31%
- 5 children – 34%
The calculated amount is an estimate for the monthly child support payable.
Limitations
The calculator presented here is a simplified tool designed to provide an estimation. It does not account for every possible scenario and should not be used as a definitive measure of legal obligation. It does not include considerations for shared placement, split-placement, or serial-family payer situations, healthcare costs, or other adjustments. For detailed and personalized advice, please consult with a legal professional or a child support agency.
