Iowa requirements and review scope

Iowa Child Support Guidelines Worksheet and financial affidavits. Use Iowa Court Rules 9.5 and 9.14 to determine the amounts counted for each party.
Wages, dividends, interest, business earnings, and other countable income are added separately for each party. Enter each dollar once; do not repeat business profit as an owner distribution.
General asset balances, loan balances, and household spending are not collected in this support-calculation workflow. Enter countable earnings from assets. A separate court financial affidavit may require additional disclosures.
Business and rental deductions must be expenses allowed for support, which can differ from tax-return deductions. Do not deduct personal living expenses as business expenses.
This worksheet needs state-permitted tax and other deductions. Enter the guideline tax deduction, not take-home pay or every deduction shown on a pay stub. Automatic tax preparation is not provided.
Uses Iowa Court Rules 9.3, 9.9, 9.14 and the schedule in rule 9.26, effective January 1, 2026.
Enter adjusted net monthly income already determined under rules 9.5–9.8 and 9.14(1), not gross pay or bank deposits. Taxes and other income deductions are not derived here.
This is basic support before medical support, health insurance and the rule 9.11A child care add-on. Those expenses, SSI-only income, other benefits, incarceration, earning capacity, other-household support and deviations require the official worksheet.
The published schedule omits the $8,801–$8,850 range. Calculations requiring that row are withheld pending authoritative clarification.
Combined net income above $30,000 requires a discretionary court or agency determination; the $30,000 row is a floor, not the complete order.

This calculator applies the published state guideline formula and has been tested against the official schedule and published examples. When a case needs a worksheet line listed above, the calculator stops and identifies that line instead of estimating it. Compare your result with the official sources linked here.
