Texas Guidelines

State-Specific Formula

Texas applies the Percentage of Income Model. Child support is calculated as a percentage of the obligor's net monthly income: 20% for one child, 25% for two, 30% for three, 35% for four, 40% for five, and not less than 50% for six or more children.

Important Disclaimer

Texas courts may order support above the guideline amount if the obligor's income exceeds $9,200 per month, or may deviate based on factors including the child's needs, parental ability to pay, and custody arrangements.
