What the worksheet asks for
The calculator workflow starts with the selected state, then walks through both parties’ income, assets, debts, and state-specific particulars. Countable income streams feed each party’s formula income; balances and non-automated adjustments are disclosed separately. Common categories include wages, bonuses, dividends and interest, business or company income, self-employment adjustments, existing support obligations, debts assigned by order, health insurance, child care, tuition, extraordinary expenses, and parenting time.
Sources and limits
- Uses the Georgia Basic Child Support Obligation table published for O.C.G.A. § 19-6-15.
- The basic child support obligation is divided between parents pro rata by adjusted income. Work-related child care, health insurance premiums, parenting time adjustment, deviations, qualified-child adjustments and other schedules are separate worksheet issues unless entered in a full Georgia worksheet module.
- If combined adjusted gross income falls between table rows, Georgia uses the income bracket most closely matched to combined adjusted gross income. For combined monthly income above $40,000, the highest table amount is used and high-income deviation remains court-specific.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the official Georgia court calculator?
No. It is an independent educational estimate. Courts can order a different amount when the evidence, local rules, or statutory deviation factors justify it.
Can I use the output in court?
The worksheet output is designed to be clear and printable, but each litigant is responsible for checking local filing rules and attaching any required official court forms.
