Child Support by Income in Michigan
This series shows a real scenario table, computed by the site’s own guideline engine, for states whose formula works from gross income. Michigan is not one of them, and this page explains exactly why rather than leaving a broken link or a guessed number.

Why Michigan is not in this series
Requires stipulated net income
Michigan's 2025 Child Support Formula computes support on each parent’s net income, arrived at through a specific list of manual worksheet deductions from gross income. The engine behind this site requires that net figure as a direct input; a weekly gross paycheck cannot substitute for it without walking through the manual net-income worksheet Michigan's own formula spells out, which this generic scenario page does not attempt.
What to use instead
The full Michigan child support calculator on this site runs the same real guideline engine and sources as every other state page. It asks for the net-income figures Michigan's formula actually requires, rather than trying to derive them from a hypothetical weekly gross paycheck the way this series does for states with a gross-based formula.
