Child Support Calculator Comparison
Compare Child Support Calculators:
The MI State Calculator
(Income Transfer Calculator)
vs.
The RBC Calculator
(Parenting Equity Calculator)
The State Calculator uses incomes, overnights, health/childcare add-ons, and applies the Michigan Child Support Formula.
This is a deeply flawed system which you can read about on the other pages. It is, in short, an Income Transfer Calculator.
The RBC Calculator values each day of lost parenting time — placing time with children at the center of the equation.
It is a Parenting Equity Calculator
* State Income Transfer Calculator: income of both parents + overnights + add-ons → monthly payment.
* RBC Parenting Equity Calculator: values each day of lost parenting time → transparent, time-based compensation.
