Ohio Child Support Calculator

You will need to have gross annual income information for at least one parent to get calculation results. Having information for both involved parents will yield more accurate results.

Income can be from employment, self-employment, workers' compensation, unemployment, disability/retirement benefits, or other annual sources of income, as well as overtime, bonuses, and commissions for last three calendar years.

You may want to prepare information about child care expenses, health insurance premiums, pre-existing child support orders, and spousal support amounts for inclusion in the calculation.
