How it works in British Columbia
In British Columbia, child support for unmarried parents falls under the provincial Family Law Act, which uses the same federal tables.
The table amount is the starting point. Parents usually also share special expenses such as daycare and orthodontics, and the amount can change with shared parenting or if paying it would cause undue hardship.
Common questions
How much is child support in British Columbia for one child?
On a $50,000 income it is about $468 a month. On $75,000 it is about $708, and on $100,000 about $955.
Which province's table do I use?
You use the table for the province or territory where the paying parent lives, even if the children live somewhere else.

For one child, the amount is $1,383 plus 0.84% of income over $150,000. For two children, $2,215 plus 1.28%. A court can decide a different amount above $150,000 if the table amount is not suitable.
