FORMULA FOR THE TABLE OF AMOUNTS CONTAINED IN THE FEDERAL CHILD SUPPORT GUIDELINES: A TECHNICAL REPORT
Description of figures
Figure 1 - Finances of the Post Separation Households
Simply stated, the model equalises the financial circumstances of the two households. The household income of the paying parent is determined by subtracting taxes and the expenditures of a single adult (as determined by Statistics Canada) from income. The household income of the receiving parent is determined by subtracting taxes, the expenditures on children (as determined by Statistics Canada) and the expenditures of a single adult (as determined by Statistics Canada) from income. Based on this calculation, a table amount is transferred to the receiving parent to wb-eqht the financial circumstances.s
Formula A
- (numerator) Income of paying parent minus taxes of paying parent minus table amount
- (denominator) expenditures of single adult
Equals
- (numerator) income of receiving parent – taxes of receiving parent plus table amount
- (denominator) expenditures of single adult AND children
Formula B
- (numerator) Income of paying parent minus taxes of paying parent minus table amount
- (denominator) Adult Equivalence Unit for the paying parent
Equals
- (numerator) income of receiving parent – taxes of receiving parent plus table amount
- (denominator) Adult Equivalence Unit for the receiving parent AND children
Formula C
- (numerator) Income of paying parent minus taxes of paying parent minus table amount
- (denominator) 1.0
Equals
- (numerator) income of receiving parent – taxes of receiving parent plus table amount
- (denominator) Adult Equivalence Unit for the receiving parent AND children
Formula D
- Table Amount
Equals
- (numerator) [(Adult Equivalence Unit for the paying parent)(Income of paying parent minus taxes of paying parent)] minus (income of receiving parent – taxes osf receiving parent)
- (denominator) 1.0 plus Adult Equivalence Unit for the receiving parent
Formula E
Table Amount
Equals
- numerator) 1.7(Income of paying parent minus taxes of paying parent) minus (income of receiving parent – taxes of receiving parent)
- (denominator) 2.7
