A custody time share calculator determines the percentage of time a child spends with each parent, typically measured in overnights per year. This percentage directly affects child support calculations in many states.
공식
Time Share % = (Overnights with Parent / 365) × 100
- N
- Overnights (nights/year) — Total overnight stays with a specific parent
- T
- Total Nights (nights/year) — Always 365 (or 366 in a leap year)
- TS
- Time Share (%) — Resulting percentage of custodial time

자주 묻는 질문
What is considered 50/50 custody?
A 50/50 arrangement means each parent has approximately 182–183 overnights per year. Common schedules include alternating weeks or a 2-2-3 rotation.
Does more custody time mean less child support?
In most states, yes. The parent with more overnights typically receives support, and higher time share for the paying parent often reduces the obligation.
