Reference only — no accounts, no personal data collected.Nevada sets child support through statewide guidelines. This page explains the calculation model Nevada uses, the factors that go into it, and where to find the official support schedule.
The Model Used in Nevada
Nevada uses a Percentage of Income model. Support is a fixed percentage of the non-custodial parent's income, scaled by the number of children, rather than pooling both parents' incomes.
Factors Nevada Considers
- The non-custodial parent's net (or gross) income
- The number of children covered
- A fixed percentage per child set by statute
- Health insurance and medical costs added on top in most states
- Sometimes a parenting-time adjustment for very high overnights
Base Obligation Table
The dollar amounts come from the Nevada Child Support Schedule, published by the Nevada Child Support Services. The schedule turns the inputs above into a monthly obligation. See the official schedule on the agency site: https://childsupport.nv.gov/.
Nevada uses a percentage-of-net-income approach scaled by the number of children.
