How to Use This Calculator
  1. Enter Payer Annual Income and Recipient Annual Income — use gross pre-tax figures.
  2. Set Years Married — duration significantly affects both amount and duration of alimony.
  3. Review Monthly Alimony and Annual Alimony as estimated amounts based on general guidelines.
  4. Check Duration in years — longer marriages typically result in longer support obligations.
  5. Review Total Alimony — the cumulative obligation over the estimated support period.
  6. Note: actual alimony is highly jurisdiction-specific; consult a family law attorney for state-specific guidelines.
