Things to know about this example
- Net income was estimated with Florida's standard assumptions (head of household for the parent the children live with, 2026 tax year). Your actual taxes may differ.
How Florida works it out
Florida uses the income shares model: the schedule in the statute gives the support for the parents' combined monthly net income, and each parent is responsible for their share.
Net income is gross income minus income taxes, Social Security and Medicare, mandatory union dues and retirement, the parent's own health insurance, support paid for other children and spousal support paid. This estimate works out taxes from gross income; Florida has no state income tax.
When each parent has the children at least 73 overnights a year, the basic obligation is increased by half and each parent's share is multiplied by the other parent's share of overnights, then offset.
