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 monthly net resources, not gross income.
- The standard guideline is capped at $11,700 monthly net resources for this module.
- Children outside this action and low-income guideline percentages require separate Texas adjustments not included in this base worksheet.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the official Texas 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.
