North Dakota guideline context

North Dakota child support estimate in 2026

On $5,000 / $3,000 monthly gross · 2 children · Parent A 70% custody · Parent B pays, our engine estimates about $647 per month ($7,764 annually) for North Dakota.

North Dakota uses a percentage-of-income guideline model (NCSL). Our engine applies state-specific percentage math on this vignette. North Dakota uses an official dollar-amount table based on the obligor's monthly net income and number of children (N.D. Admin Code 75-02-04.1-10, effective July 1, 2023). This calculator looks up the official table using ~75% of gross income to estimate net income. Actual net income (after taxes, mandatory deductions) may differ. For net income over $25,000/month, cap amounts apply. Use the official ND HHS guidelines calculator for precise results.

Compared with Texas (~$750) and California (~$183) on the same vignette, North Dakota sits at dense rank #3.

Myths vs facts

Myth: Every state’s income-shares table produces a unique number on this page.

Fact: This educational engine uses one simplified income-shares schedule for those states, so many jurisdictions intentionally tie on the locked vignette. Official state worksheets differ.

Myth: A higher rank means that state always orders more support.

Fact: Rank #1 is only the highest estimate on this fixed vignette. Different incomes, custody, or children can reorder states — especially once real income-shares tables are used.

Myth: Percentage-of-income and income-shares always yield similar results.

Fact: On this vignette, percentage-of-income states sit hundreds of dollars above the income-shares cluster. Models allocate obligation differently; NCSL documents both approaches.

Myth: This estimate is a court order.

Fact: It is an educational guideline estimate. Judges apply worksheets, deviations, and evidence. Use your state’s official calculator or attorney.

Glossary

Income shares
Guideline model (most states) that estimates the child’s share of combined parental income, then splits it by each parent’s income share. Our hub uses a simplified shared schedule for these states.
Percentage of income
Guideline model that applies a percentage (flat or varying) of the obligor’s income — used here for AK, MS, NV, ND, TX, and WI with state-specific engine math.
Melson Formula
Income-shares variant (DE, HI, MT) with self-support reserves. Routed as income-shares in this engine with accuracy notes — official Melson worksheets differ.
Dense ranking
States with the same monthly estimate share one rank; the next distinct amount gets the next integer (e.g. two #1s, then #2).
Obligor / paying parent
The parent ordered to pay support. This vignette sets Parent B as the paying parent with $3,000 monthly gross.
