How It Works

North Carolina uses income-based guidelines to determine child support. This estimator considers both parents’ monthly income, number of children, custody overnights, child health insurance, and work-related childcare.

Factors That Affect Child Support

Number of children requiring support
Custody arrangement and overnight schedule
Health insurance and medical costs
