North Carolina requirements and review scope

North Carolina Worksheet A, B, or C for the actual custody arrangement. Use North Carolina Child Support Guidelines 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 the North Carolina Schedule of Basic Support Obligations effective January 1, 2023.
The schedule is part of North Carolina’s income-shares guidelines and the basic child support obligation is allocated between parents by income share in the applicable worksheet.
Between-row support is interpolated. Verified shaded payer-only reserve amounts and the ordinary minimum below $1,150 are applied; the gap from $1,150 to the first published $1,300 row is withheld for review. Child care, health insurance, extraordinary expenses, Worksheet B shared custody, Worksheet C split custody and high-income cases above $40,000 require separate worksheet handling.

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.
