INTERACTIVE TOOLS

Family Law Calculators

These free calculators give you a clear starting point for some of the practical and financial questions that come up during separation. Each one produces a general estimate you can bring to a conversation with our team. They provide general information only, are not legal advice, and do not account for the specific facts of your situation.

Trusted by 2,000+ local clients

Enter a few key dates to see an estimated separation date and whether the usual twelve month period is likely to be met before you apply for a divorce.

Enter your assets and liabilities to see a combined total in Australian dollars, ready to save or discuss with a lawyer.

Superannuation Calculator

Enter the superannuation held by each person to see the combined total and each balance as a proportion of the whole.

Child Support Calculator

Enter each parent’s income, the number of children and your care arrangement for an estimate based on the current Services Australia formula.

Care Percentage Calculator

Enter the nights the children spend with each person across a year to work out a care percentage and the matching care and cost levels.

Frequently Asked Questions

General information only. Please get advice for your circumstances before making any major decisions.

They give a reasonable general estimate based on the information you enter, but they cannot account for every detail of your matter. Treat the figures as a guide to help you prepare, not a definitive answer.

No. The calculators run in your browser and we do not store or see what you enter. When you close the page, your figures are gone unless you have saved or printed them yourself.

No. Property, superannuation and support outcomes depend on a range of factors and are decided on the facts of each situation, so the calculators show estimates and totals rather than any entitlement. A family lawyer can explain what your figures may mean for you.

 

That is common, and it is exactly why these tools exist. Bring your results to a confidential consultation with our team and we will talk through what they mean and your options from here.

Yes. The child support and care calculators use the current Services Australia figures and formula, and we review the tools as the rules change. If you spot anything that looks off, let us know.
