What Is the Oklahoma Child Support Calculator?
The Oklahoma Child Support Calculator is a web-based tool that estimates how much one parent might pay the other in monthly child support. It uses:
- Both parents’ gross monthly income
- Number of children
- Annual overnights (how many nights per year the child spends with each parent)
- Monthly costs for child care and health insurance
The calculator runs on the Oklahoma Child Support Guidelines, which are legally approved formulas used in family court.
How Child Support Is Calculated in Oklahoma
Child support in Oklahoma isn’t just guesswork. The state uses an income shares model, meaning it looks at how much both parents earn and splits the financial responsibility based on that. Here’s what goes into the formula:
1. Combined Monthly Income
- This is the total of both parents’ gross (before tax) monthly income.
2. Schedule-Based Obligation
- Oklahoma law uses a child support schedule — a table that shows how much support is expected based on income and number of children.
3. Overnights Adjustment
- If both parents have at least 121 overnights with the child per year, the support amount is adjusted for shared parenting time.
4. Add-Ons
- Costs like health insurance premiums and work-related child care are added to the base amount.
5. Proportional Split
- Each parent’s share of the support is based on their percentage of the total income.
