Child support estimator by state
Choose a state to estimate monthly guideline child support from parental incomes, custody, healthcare, and childcare. Every result is an educational planning range — not a court order and not legal advice.
How guideline support works
States use different models — percentage of obligor income, CSSA percentages, or income-shares schedules. This tool applies the published model for each launch state with a simple gross-to-net proxy so you can compare scenarios before speaking with a family law attorney.
How to use this estimator
- Select your state from the list below.
- Enter each parent's gross monthly income and who has primary custody.

Child support estimator FAQ
How does the child support estimator work?
Pick your state, enter each parent's gross monthly income, choose the custodial parent, and add optional healthcare or childcare costs. The tool applies that state's published guideline model to produce a monthly planning range.
Is this the same as a court child support order?
No. Courts can deviate for many reasons, and official worksheets often use more detailed net-income calculations. This estimator is an educational planning tool, not legal advice or a quote.
Which states are available?
Lawckin currently publishes estimators for New York, Texas, California, and Florida. More states will be added as guideline data is curated.
Can I talk to a lawyer about the result?
Yes. Each state page links to verified family law attorneys on Lawckin so you can compare consultation pricing and book online.
