Child Support Table Look-up
Important Tips for Using the Table Look-up
This child support table look-up will help you find the base amount of child support. Read the Step-by-Step Guide and the Table Look-up Disclaimer for more details. The Guide offers instructions and worksheets that will help explain how to calculate child support amounts.
You may wish to ask a lawyer for advice about your situation. The base amount is often not the final child support amount to be paid. For example, if there are special expenses such as child care or if you share custody, the amount will likely be different.
Under the Federal Child Support Guidelines, the table amount is determined by:
- the number of children;
- the province or territory where the paying parent lives; and
- the paying parent's before tax annual income.

Table Look-up Disclaimer
The Child Support Table Look-up has general information only. It is not a legal document. The tables were last updated December 31, 2011. To determine how much child support is owed from May 1, 2006 to December 31, 2011, use the 2006 tables. Note that provincial or territorial guidelines may apply in some cases.
Note: Several companies sell software for calculating child support. Be aware that the Department of Justice was not involved in the development of that software.
