AssumptionsShow
- • For non-gross-up cases, this page treats the parent with fewer overnights as the paying parent and uses that parent's minimum obligation as the transfer estimate.
This page follows the public Florida worksheet structure and statute-based chart logic, but it is not an official court or government calculator.

Florida child support FAQ
- Does this Florida calculator use both parents' income?
- Yes. Florida child support guidelines are based on both parents' net monthly income, not a single payer-only formula.
- When does the Florida gross-up method apply?
- This page switches to the substantial time-sharing gross-up method when both parents have at least 73 overnights, matching the Florida worksheet threshold.
- Why does this page mention a $50 schedule-row assumption?
- Florida publishes the schedule in $50 rows. The public worksheet instructions point back to section 61.30 when income is not listed, but they do not spell out the exact mid-band lookup behavior, so this page currently floors to the next lower published row and says so explicitly.
- Does this page include Florida add-ons and hardship calculations?
- No. This first Florida page focuses on the worksheet core path: both parents' net income, shared child costs, credits already paid, and overnights.
- Is this the official Florida child support calculator?
- No. It is an estimate page built from the public Florida worksheet structure and statute-based chart logic. The actual amount set or approved by the court may differ.
