Parents in Michigan are now able to use a free online tool to calculate child support payments.
The calculator, which was developed by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services Office of Child Support, will allow parents to calculate child support payments the same way that child support staff do.

According to the MDHHS, the same kind of calculator was previously used by child support staff, and users will get the same results as staff as long as they put in the same information.
“By making this calculator accessible to the public, the Michigan child support program is allowing parents and others to gain a better understanding of how child support is calculated in Michigan,” said Erin Frisch, director of the Office of Child Support.
The calculator can be used to determine a possible monthly support amount without opening a child support case, calculate support prior to requesting a review or compare results from child support staff.
