Frequently asked questions

How often should I recalculate child support?

Recalculate whenever income, care percentage, or family structure changes. Formal assessments are updated through Services Australia.

Does this estimate include 2026 formula settings?

Yes. The estimate uses current formula settings and is maintained against published Services Australia updates.

Can I use this for shared care?

Yes. Enter nights per fortnight for each parent and the calculator applies care-based offsets.

Will the result always match the formal assessment?

No. Private agreements, special circumstances, and Change of Assessment outcomes can shift the formal amount.
