Formula Description

Massachusetts combines both parents' available weekly incomes and derives the base order from Table A of the Child Support Guidelines Worksheet. The obligation is allocated according to each parent's share of combined available income.

Rates & Multipliers

Set by a graduated bracket table applied to weekly income, not by flat percentage.

Income Caps

The 2025 Guidelines calculate base support on combined available income up to $450,000 per year, raised from $400,000. Above that figure the guideline amount is the minimum presumptive order and any increase is at the court's discretion.

Disclaimer: This is an informational estimate based on standard guidelines. Actual court calculations may differ based on judicial discretion, specific deductions, and unique family circumstances.

Massachusetts Guidelines

State-Specific Formula

Massachusetts applies the Income Shares Model under the Child Support Guidelines issued by the Trial Court, effective December 1, 2025. Both parents' available weekly incomes are combined, the base order is drawn from Table A of the Guidelines Worksheet, and the obligation is allocated in proportion to each parent's share of combined available income.

Important Disclaimer

The Guidelines amount is presumptively correct. Support is calculated on combined income up to $450,000 per year; above that the guideline figure operates as the minimum presumptive order.
