Divorce Calculation Method |
The calculation method used by the Wikivorce divorce calculator is:
| |
Step 1
|
|
Define wife's
income
|
|
Define husband's
income
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Step 2
|
|
Define childcare arrangements
and children's needs
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Step 3
|
|
Define wife's
household needs
|
|
Define husband's
household needs
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Step 4
|
|
Allocate first portion of income based on:
prioritised needs
|
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| |
Step 5
|
|
Allocate any surplus income based on:

|
| |
|
|
|
|

The main calculation is heavily based on needs and therefore outgoings. If you do not have outgoings data (for both parties) to hand you can optionally leave that section blank and the calculator will use income and childcare scoring to estimate an approximate settlement range.
