How the Arizona Child Support Calculator Works

Our calculator follows the Arizona Child Support Guidelines and uses key factors such as:

• Number of children involved in the case

• Monthly gross income of both parents

• Parenting time (overnights per year)

• Cost of living adjustments based on Arizona standards
  Enter these details, and you’ll receive an estimated monthly child support amount in just seconds. This estimate is designed for educational purposes only—the family court judge will review your exact situation before issuing a final order.

Why Use a Child Support Calculator?

Having an estimate before you step into mediation or court can make a huge difference. With the Arizona Child Support Calculator, you can:

• Understand your rights and obligations early in the process

• Prepare for negotiations with realistic numbers

• Plan your budget around future child support payments

• Reduce uncertainty by knowing what to expect
  This clarity helps you make smarter decisions about custody, parenting time, and financial planning.

Important Limitations to Remember

Every family’s circumstances are unique. The calculator provides an estimate, but it cannot include every factor that may affect your case, such as:

• Medical or dental expenses for children

• Childcare or education costs

• Special needs or extraordinary expenses
  Because of these additional factors, the court may order a different amount than what the calculator shows.
