Factors Considered in Calculation

This calculator uses the West Virginia income shares model, which considers:

Parental Income: Gross monthly income from all sources for both parents
Number of Children: Each child adds to the basic support obligation
Parenting Time: Overnights spent with each parent adjust the final amount
Additional Expenses: Health insurance, childcare, education, and extraordinary medical costs
Model Year: Economic tables and guidelines specific to the selected year

The calculation follows the principle that children should receive the same proportion of parental income they would have received if the parents lived together.
