Spousal Support Calculator

Estimates under the Spousal Support Advisory Guidelines (SSAG). We will only publish it once every formula has been verified, because spousal support estimates depend on detailed tax and benefit calculations.

Three separate questions

Entitlement

Is spousal support owed at all? This is a legal question decided first. The formulas don’t answer it.

Amount

If support is owed, the SSAG give a range: low, middle and high.

Duration

How long support lasts. It may be a range of years, or not specified (indefinite).

What’s planned

• Without-child-support and with-child-support formulas
• Low, middle and high ranges, with the net disposable income behind each
• Duration estimates, including the rule of 65 and indefinite duration
• Tax and benefit calculations, and income adjustments
• How child support and spousal support interact
• Scenario comparisons, saved to your matters
