How to read the Calculation Table

チルドレン・ファースト
The figures in the Calculation Table vary according to the number and age of children. When you find the applicable table, look for the annual income (self-employed or salary) of the parent who pays the child support on the vertical axis of the table and the annual income (self-employed or salary) of the parent who receives the child support on the horizontal axis of the table. The figure of the crossing portion is the suggested basis for the amount of child support. However, the "Calculation Table" is not an absolute standard because the child support costs are different depending on the individual specific cases.
