This is an estimate for information only — not legal advice, and not a court calculation. Judges can and do deviate from guideline amounts. For the number a court would use, see LDSS-4515 Child Support Standards Chart, Rev. 03/26.
This number is a snapshot. Child support depends on parenting time, and parenting time drifts — swapped weekends, changed holidays, summer schedules. Vireo keeps the custody calendar, messages and shared expenses in one timestamped record, so what actually happened is never a matter of memory.

Combine parental CSSA income; multiply income up to the statutory cap by 17% for one child, 25% for two, 29% for three, 31% for four, or at least 35% for five or more; allocate by each parent's pro rata income share; then allocate statutory add-ons.
How income is counted: CSSA income starts with federal gross income as reported or reportable, adds specified items, and subtracts statutory deductions including certain taxes, FICA, maintenance actually paid, and child support actually paid for other children under qualifying orders or agreements.
