Florida Child Support Calculator

When it comes to time-sharing in Florida, it’s extremely important to keep the child’s life as normal as possible. Florida’s child support guidelines were created to make sure the children experience the same level of comfort and care you were able to provide before getting a divorce. If the parents were not previously married, child support in Florida is calculated to allow the same level of financial support as if they lived in a two-parent household.

Created exclusively for LaFrance Law, the calculator uses the most current guidelines outlined in Florida State Statute 61.30.

We know coming to a child support agreement is stressful. LaFrance Law is a Tampa area attorney team committed to ensuring your child support plan is fair to both parties, and most of all the children in question. Contact us now to hire a dedicated attorney who will fight for your family.

Florida Child Support Calculation Factors

The estimated child support due each month is calculated using the gross and net monthly income of both parents. The amount of child support, and how much each parent will be obligated to pay, can vary based on several factors.

What to Include for your Income

The type of income considered for each parent includes (but is not limited to):

  • Salary or wages, bonuses, commissions, allowances, overtime, tips and other small payments
  • Interest and dividends earned
  • Business income from self-employment, partnership, close corporations and independent contracts
  • Disability benefits, all workers’ compensation benefits and unemployment compensation

Health Care Costs

Health insurance costs and any out-of-pocket medical, dental and prescription medication expenses for the child should be included in child support calculations. Any prepaid health-related expenses should be taken out of that parent’s support obligation.

Each court order shall contain health insurance for the minor child when the increment of adding it does not exceed 5% of the parent’s income, and it is accessible to the child.

How Long Does Child Support Need to be Paid?

Child support terminates in Florida on a child’s 18th birthday unless:

  • The court finds it necessary to extend the child support because of a mental or physical incapacity for the child to care for themselves which must be diagnosed prior to the child turning 18
  • If the child turns 18 before graduating High School, child support is extended until they graduate or turn 19, whichever occurs first

Childcare Costs

Any daycare, after school care or babysitting should be included as a cost paid by each parent. This should cover any additional time needed for summer months, spring break and holiday weekends.

Additional expenses incurred with childcare may not be included. If one or both parents are unable to care for their child because of work obligations, then child support may be used to cover the expense.

Florida Child Support Calculation Adjustments

The courts may adjust the total minimum child support needed based on:

  • Extraordinary medical, psychological, educational or dental expenses
  • Seasonal variations in income or expenses
  • Age of child, considering the greater needs of the older child
  • Special needs, such as costs associated with the disability of a child
  • A parent pays another person more than 55% of their income for a child support obligation
  • A child spends a significant amount of time, but less than 20% of the overnights, with one parent, which reduces that amount of finances for the other parent
  • The refusal from a parent to become involved in the activities with a child
  • A reasonable and necessary expense or debt that both parents incurred during their marriage

If you have any of the above experiences, you may be eligible for modification of child support.
