Take each parent's adjusted net income and divide it by the combined net income to get the percent of their contribution. Example: CP: $3,164 ÷ $6,935 = 45.6%.
Under Illinois law (750 ILCS 5/505), child support is now calculated based on an “income shares” model. In the income shares model, the court determines what the parents' combined net income is, and then it determines what portion of that net income should go toward the child support obligation.
40% of the high earner's net monthly income minus 50% of the low earner's net monthly income. For instance, if Spouse A earns $5,000 per month and Spouse B earns $2,500 per month, temporary spousal support might be calculated as follows: 40% of $5,000 = $2,000. 50% of $2,500 = $1,250.

The Guidelines set a minimum child support amount of $91.00 per child per month.
