A divorce asset division calculator helps estimate how marital property is divided between spouses. Most states use equitable distribution (fair but not necessarily equal), while nine community property states default to a 50/50 split.
공식
Each Spouse’s Share = (Total Marital Assets – Total Marital Debts) × Distribution Percentage
- MA
- Marital Assets ($) — Total value of all property acquired during the marriage
- MD
- Marital Debts ($) — Total of all debts incurred during the marriage
- SP
- Separate Property ($) — Assets owned before marriage or received as gifts/inheritance
- DP
- Distribution Percentage (%) — Percentage allocated to each spouse (50% in community property states)
단계별 가이드

- 2Separate marital property from separate property (pre-marriage assets, inheritances, gifts)
- 3Total all marital debts: mortgages, credit cards, loans
- 4Apply equitable distribution factors or the 50/50 community property rule
풀어진 예시

피해야 할 일반적인 실수
- ✕Assuming all states split 50/50 — only 9 states are community property states
- ✕Forgetting to value retirement accounts and pensions (often the largest marital asset)
- ✕Not accounting for tax consequences when dividing different asset types
