Straight answers
Things people ask us first
How accurate is this?
It uses your state's model and typical spending curves, so it lands in a realistic range. Your state's official worksheet decides the guideline amount and can include adjustments this tool does not.
Why do overnights matter?
Many states reduce support when parents share time closer to equally, because both are paying for the children directly.
