hi,
is the end calculation per month or per year?
is it until the children involved are 18?

I would have expected that the calculator would tell you specifically if the figure was monthly or annually. Even if it doesn't I would have thought that common sense would make it obvious.

As regards child support, I don't think the calculator deals with this, although there is another calculator for child support on he CSA website. If you have to pay child support, you would include that as an expense, which it is, and one that has a prior claim on your income ( which it has ). The calculator will then take that into account in fixing the spousal maintenance to be paid, if any.

Child supports ends of course when the children reach 18 but the calculator won't estimate the duration of spousal maintenance. That depends on a number of variables.
