Guideline model
Alaska uses the percentage-of-income model. The worksheet begins with net income and then applies the state's child-count, parenting-time, and expense rules.

Alaska Child Support Guidelines & Calculator
A state-specific overview of Alaska child support guidelines, income model, parenting-time adjustments, and an estimate you can run with your own numbers.
Informational only—not legal advice. Laws and guidelines change. Verify the current rule with the official court resource and a licensed Alaska family-law attorney.
What the estimate uses
For one child, this reference model uses an effective guideline rate of about 20%; for two children, about 27%. These are planning estimates, not the official worksheet amount.
Parenting-time adjustment
A shared-parenting adjustment may apply at about 110 overnights per year for the lesser-time parent. The exact credit depends on the current worksheet and the facts of the case.
Income protection and add-on expenses
The reference model includes an estimated self-support reserve of about $1,400 per month. Childcare, medical costs, insurance, and other add-ons can change the final amount.
Why the number may differ
Civil Rule 90.3: a flat percentage of the obligor's adjusted annual net income. Shared custody (30%+ overnights, ~110 nights) switches to a cross-credit calculation multiplied by 1.5. State tables, caps, credits, and court practices change. Use the estimate as a conversation starter and confirm the current worksheet with the Alaska court resource or a family-law attorney.
