Texas child support FAQ
- Is this the official Texas child support calculator?
- No. This page is not an official government tool. It mirrors the public Texas OAG monthly child support calculator's inputs and published constants so you can estimate the same monthly support workflow.
- Does this Texas estimate work for more than one source of income?
- No. The official Texas OAG page states that the calculator provides an estimate for a single source of income, and this page keeps the same boundary.
- What counts as children outside this action?
- Use this field for other children for whom the person paying support has a legal duty to provide support. The Texas formula uses this count to reduce the guideline percentage through a multiple-family adjustment.
- Does this page calculate support above the Texas cap?
- No. Like the Texas OAG calculator, this page applies the published $11,700 monthly net-resource cap when computing the projected obligation.
- Why does the page show a low-income guideline percentage?
- Texas publishes a separate low-income guideline table. When the net resources used for support fall below the published threshold, the lower table is used instead of the standard percentage table.
