Free Educational Tools

Divorce Calculators™

Explore the numbers before you make major financial decisions. These free assumption calculators are designed to help you test scenarios, compare choices, and better understand the financial questions that can arise during divorce.

Free & Public
Educational, Not Predictive
Built for Better Questions

Understand the math before making the decision.

Divorce decisions often involve more than dividing a number in half. Housing costs, debt, taxes, retirement assets, cash flow, and long-term affordability can make two choices with similar dollar values produce very different outcomes.

What these calculators are designed to do

  • Let you change assumptions and immediately see how the numbers respond.
  • Help identify questions you may want to discuss with a qualified professional.
  • Make financial concepts easier to understand before negotiation or mediation.
  • Encourage comparison of short-term affordability and longer-term consequences.
These are assumption calculators. They do not determine what is legally fair, predict what a court will order, calculate legally required support, or replace individualized financial or legal advice. Their purpose is to help you understand the numbers you are working with.
Before you begin: please review “Your Privacy & Your Calculator Information” below.

The free calculators do not save the information you enter. If you want to keep your results, you may take a screenshot or record the numbers before leaving the calculator.
