Colorado Child Support
The schedule is in the statute. So it's computed here — as written.
Both parents' adjusted gross incomes combine, the 800-row schedule (the March-2026 HB 25-1159 rendition, parsed from the official supplement with receipts) sets the basic obligation — interpolated between rows, exactly as the statute says — and the obligor pays a proportional share. The statute's own posture word renders on every result: a REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION, the number courts start from and must make findings to leave.
Statute verified at render: the stored official text of C.R.S. § 14-10-115 carries the schedule needles — this calculator computes against that verified text (C.R.S. § 14-10-115(7)(b) (HB25-1159, eff. 2026-03-01)), with the statute's own posture badged: a REBUTTABLE PRESUMPTION.
The statute's lanes, in one sentence each (2026 C.R.S., HB25-1159).
- • At or below $650 obligor AGI: the minimum order — $10/month regardless of child count (§ 115(7)(a)(III)(A)).
- • $650 to the self-support reserve ($1,831.83 in 2026 — state minimum wage × 29 hours × 50 weeks ÷ 12): the fixed payment ($50–$150 by child count), capped at ten percent of the obligor's income once add-ons are counted (§ 115(7)(a)(III)(B)–(C)).
- • Above the reserve: the smoothing formula — 80–95% of the income above the reserve by child count, floored at the fixed payment and ceilinged at the obligor's schedule share (§ 115(7)(a)(V)); up to $2,627.73 the result may not exceed twenty percent of the obligor's income (§ 115(7)(a)(IV)).
- • The schedule — row-exact or interpolated between rows, split in proportion to the parents' incomes; above the $40,000 top row, judicial discretion floored at that row (§ 115(7)(a)(I)–(II), (VII)).
Authority locked — retrieved from the hash-pinned corpus
Adjusted gross income is the real work. The § 14-10-115(5) machinery defines what counts and what adjusts (pre-existing support obligations among them). Worksheet items — the 93-overnight shared-physical-care adjustment, health-insurance and child-care add-ons, the 20% low-income cap interplay — are NAMED in every result and routed to the official JDF worksheet machinery, never silently computed here. Deviations take court findings; the presumption can be rebutted, and the court's own determination controls every number. Legal information, not legal advice.
