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.
Công thức
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)
