How child support works in Prince Edward Island

Child support in Prince Edward Island is calculated using the Federal Child Support Guidelines. These guidelines provide a consistent framework based on the paying parent's income and the number of children.

The base amount comes from the Prince Edward Island table, which reflects Prince Edward Island's provincial tax rates. Because after-tax income differs by province, table amounts vary even at the same gross income. The amount depends on the paying parent's annual income and the number of children.

The base amount may be adjusted for shared parenting (where each parent has the child at least 40% of the time), split custody (where each parent has primary care of at least one child), or special expenses under section 7 of the Guidelines. For incomes above $150,000, the tables provide a base-plus-percentage formula, and the court may also consider the specific needs of the children.
