Estimators
The Care Estimator allows you to estimate the level of care you have for a child.
It also helps you plan care arrangements, determine whether you have enough care
to apply for child support, or decide whether you need to advise CSA about a
change to care arrangements.
You may be able to use this to estimate what your child support or family
assistance payments might be (after 1 July 2008).
You can use the estimator if:
-
you have one child support assessment only
-
you and the other parent don't have children from a new relationship living
with you
-
CSA uses the child support formula to work out your assessment
-
you know the other parent's details, such as their income.
Please note: The estimator cannot estimate your current child support or family
assistance payments, or compare old and new estimates. It does not affect your
current records in any way and the information you enter into the estimator is
not retained by CSA. If you would like to discuss a change to your current
payments or details please contact us on 131 272 to speak with a Customer Service
Officer.
To assist employers work out the net pay to the employee, taking into account
child support payments, the protected earnings amount and the basic tax liability.
