In Texas, child support calculations are based on the noncustodial parent’s net monthly resources, with a statutory cap applied to these resources. As of September 1, 2019, this cap is set at $9,200 per month. This means that even if a parent’s net resources exceed this amount, child support is calculated only up to the $9,200 threshold. The percentages applied to determine the monthly child support obligation are as follows:
One child: 20% of net resources
Two children: 25% of net resources
Three children: 30% of net resources
Four children: 35% of net resources
Five or more children: 40% of net resources
Applying these percentages to the $9,200 cap results in maximum monthly child support payments as follows:
One child: $1,840
Two children: $2,300
Three children: $2,760
Four children: $3,220
Five or more children: $3,680
