Ohio support highlights
Official calculator is estimate-only
Ohio’s official calculator says it provides an estimate and should not be treated as a court order by itself.
Combined-income ceiling of $336,000
The official calculator also says it cannot estimate support when combined annual gross income exceeds $336,000.
Current manual baseline is April 1, 2026
Ohio Administrative Code 5101:12-1-99 currently lists JFS 07766, the Child Support Guideline Manual, as revised April 2026.
Rule 5101:12-1-17 controls the workflow
Ohio’s current administrative rule ties support calculations to the official schedule, worksheets, and cash-medical framework.
Local CSEAs still run the county path
ODJFS continues to route establishment, modification, enforcement, and service applications through local county child support enforcement agencies.
No fixed spousal support formula
Ohio spousal support remains discretionary and factor-based under Revised Code section 3105.18 rather than a statewide percentage formula.
