*The "Custodial Parent" of a child, is the parent that has the child for a majority of the overnights during the year. It is not based on legal custody or decision-making power. If the parents have an equal number of overnights, the party with the lower income is deemed to be the "custodial parent" see Leonard v Leonard (4th dept), 2013 NY Slip Op 04916 [109 AD3d 126], Rubin v Della Salla (1st Dept), 2013 NY Slip Op 02681 [107 AD3d 60]. ** ALL INCOME: Including but not limited to investment income, deferred comp, worker's comp, state disability, social security payments, SSD (not SSI or Public Assistance), unemployment, veterans, pension retirement income, fellowships, stipends, annuity payments, former income or resources voluntarily reduced, perks that reduce personal expenses, money goods and services provided by friends and relatives, and income that should be reported on income tax returns not listed above. |

This NY Child Support Calculator is designed to give accurate results for parents that earn W-2 Wages, Self-Employment income, other income, and maintenance income from the other party, less deductions for FICA, SECA, Local Taxes, and Maintenance Paid to Other Party. FICA, and SECA, are calculated automatically and caps the social security portion of withholding at the maximum threshold, but not medicare withholding. This calculator DOES make adjustments for combined incomes exceeding the combined income cap. If the combined parental income less deductions, is greater than or equal to the cap, the non-custodial parent pays support equal to: The combined parental child support times the non-custodial parent's percentage of combined parental income (This percentage is the same as the portion payable for daycare and uninsured medical), unless the self support reserve effects the non-custodial parents child support payment. The purpose of this NY Child Support Calculator is for information only. This NY Child Support Calculator is based on statutory guidelines, but the Court has the final authority to determine the amount of child support awarded. The numbers provided are only estimates and are not a guarantee of the amount of child support that will be awarded. Other factors may affect the amount of child support awarded. Consult an Attorney for more detailed information. In addition to this basic child support obligation, both parents may be required to pay their pro-rata share of the children's medical insurance coverage, uninsured medical costs, and child care costs (required to enable the custodial parent to work or attend college or vocational training).
