Child maintenance calculator UK

This is a handy little tool for working out how much an estranged parent is likely to pay in child maintenance.

The amount of child maintenance worked out by our online calculator may be different from the child maintenance that we worked out and asked a non-resident parent to pay, or the amount that has been agreed in court as part of a consent order. This should not be used as grounds for appealing against our decision or for asking a court to change a consent order.

There are a number of circumstances which are not covered by the online calculator. These include when the non-resident parent's income is greater than £2000 per week, non-resident parents who receive a benefit, cases where maintenance will be shared between two or more parents with care and variations for exceptional circumstances.
