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

Why South Dakota is not in this series
Requires stipulated net income
South Dakota guideline support (SDCL ch. 25-7-6.2 and following) runs on each parent’s net income. The engine behind this site reads that net figure directly, with no gross-to-net conversion step built in, so this page family cannot honestly derive it from a hypothetical weekly gross paycheck alone.
What to use instead
The full South Dakota 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 South Dakota'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.
