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.

The schedule amount is divided between parents in proportion to adjusted actual incomes. Alimony/maintenance sequencing, additional children in the home, child care, health insurance, extraordinary medical expenses, shared physical custody and deviations are separate worksheet issues.
If combined adjusted actual income falls between schedule rows, Maryland uses the next higher amount; income above $30,000 is discretionary.
