To calculate child support, the final step is to multiply the Costs of the Children value by the difference between your Cost % and Income %. You receive child support if your Care % is > 35% and your Cost % > your Income %. You pay child support when your Care % < 65% and your Income % > your Cost %.
Using Washington's Child Support Guidelines To calculate child support, use the combined net income of both parents (in other words, add your net income to the other parent's net income) to determine the total amount of child support due.
Is there a limit to the amount of support I should pay? Yes. The support you pay all your biological children should be no more than 45% of your net income. Each child is entitled to a proportional share.
In determining a parent's income for child support purposes, courts typically look at the parent's gross income from all sources. They then subtract certain obligatory deductions, like income taxes, Social Security, health care, and mandatory union dues.
What is Included in a Support Order? Monetary support (Food, clothing, & shelter), health insurance, basic education expenses. Also might include child care expenses, extraordinary medical expenses, visitation travel costs, and extracurricular activities.
