Minnesota requirements and review scope

Minnesota Child Support Guidelines Worksheet using each party’s PICS. Use Minnesota Statutes §§ 518A.29–518A.35 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.
Uses Minn. Stat. § 518A.35 basic support guideline table.
Minnesota determines each parent’s parental income for determining child support (PICS), combines monthly PICS, looks up the basic support obligation for one through six joint children, and divides basic support by each parent’s proportionate share.
For combined monthly PICS over $20,000, the statute presumes the $20,000 table amount unless an excess amount is demonstrated under § 518A.43.
The interactive Minnesota module applies court-ordered parenting time under § 518A.36, the more-than-55% presumption and the 2026 self-support reserve. This base-table function is only an intermediate schedule allocation. Nonjoint-child deductions, child care, medical support, split custody, third-party custody, public-assistance exceptions and deviations require the official calculator.

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.
