Florida Alimony Calculator

When you’re facing a divorce in Florida, money is a chief concern. Even after the assets of the two parties are divided, one spouse might be required to pay the other on an ongoing basis. This ongoing monthly payment is called alimony. While we can’t tell you exactly what you might pay and for how long, we can give you an idea of what your payment structure might look like by providing the alimony calculator below.

If the marriage equals or exceeds 17 years, the duration of the alimony payments will likely be permanent.

If the difference between the monthly incomes of the two parties is less than or equal to $2,000, then it is likely that no alimony will be owed.

Disclaimer: In Florida, alimony is not determined by using a formula. Each case is unique and determined by applying the facts of the each case to the statutory factors set forth in Section 61.08, Florida Statutes. When determining alimony, courts and attorneys will consider all of the statutory factors, however, an abbreviated analysis starts with comparing the monthly income to the expenses of the party requesting alimony to determine if there is insufficient income to meet the expenses and hence a need for alimony. If there is a need, the abbreviated analysis will then compare the monthly income to the expenses of the party requested to pay alimony to determine if there is a surplus of income after expenses are paid and hence an ability to pay alimony. The alimony calculator provided should not be relied upon to determine alimony and is not intended to represent a recommendation for alimony in any case. To obtain a more accurate idea of the alimony you can expect to receive or pay as part of a divorce you should consult with an attorney.
