How Alaska calculates support
The Percentage of Income applies a fixed percentage to the NON-CUSTODIAL parent's income, scaled by the number of children. The custodial parent's income generally does not change the base obligation, though courts can deviate.
| Children | Percent of income |
|---|---|
| 1 | 20% |
| 2 | 27% |
| 3 | 33% |
| 4 | 37% |
| 5 | 41% |
Percentage of non-custodial parent's net income, capped at $10,000/month net per parent. Above the cap, courts apply judicial discretion.
Before any court filing, confirm your number with Alaska's official calculator or worksheet.
