Annex A
TITLE 231. RULES OF CIVIL PROCEDURE
PART I. GENERAL
CHAPTER 1910. ACTIONS FOR SUPPORT Rule 1910.1. Scope. Definitions.
* * * * * (c) As used in this chapter, unless the context of a rule indicates otherwise, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
* * * * * [''Trier of fact,''] ''Trier-of-fact,'' the judge, hearing officer, or conference officer who makes factual determinations.
* * * * * Rule 1910.16-1. [Amount of] Support Obligation. Support Guidelines.
(a) Applicability of the Support Guidelines.
(1) Except as provided in subdivision [(3)] (a)(3), the support guidelines determine [the amount of support that a spouse or parent should pay] a spouse's or parent's support obligation based on the parties' combined monthly net income, as defined in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-2, and the number of persons being supported.
(2) If a person caring for or having custody of a minor child, who does not have a duty of support to the minor child, initiates a child support action as provided in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.3:
(i) the complaint shall [identify the parent(s) as defendant(s)] name the parents as defendants;
(ii) in determining the basic child support [amount] obligation, the monthly net income for the individual initiating the action shall not be considered in the support calculation by the [trier of fact] trier-of-fact;
(iii) the parents' monthly net incomes shall be combined to determine the basic child support [amount] obligation, which shall be apportioned based on the parents' respective monthly net incomes consistent with Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4. The parents shall pay the obligee their proportionate share of the basic child support [amount] obligation as a separate obligor; and
(iv) as with other support actions, the [trier of fact may make adjustments or deviations] trier-of-fact may adjust or deviate the basic child support, spousal support, or alimony pendente lite obligation consistent with the support guidelines based on the evidence presented by the parties.
Example 1. The parents have one child, who is in the custody of the maternal grandmother. Maternal grandmother initiates a support action against the parents. Mother's monthly net income is $3,000 and Father's monthly net income is $2,000 for a combined monthly net income of $5,000. For purposes of the child support calculation, maternal grandmother's income is irrelevant and not part of the calculation. The basic child support obligation for one child at a combined monthly net income of $5,000 is [$990] $993 per month. Mother's percentage share of the combined monthly net income is 60% ($3,000/$5,000) and Father's percentage share of the combined monthly net income is 40% ($2,000/$5,000). Mother's preliminary monthly share of the child support obligation is [$594 ($990 × 60%)] $596 ($993 × 60%) and Father's preliminary monthly share of the child support obligation is [$396 ($990 × 40%)] $397 ($993 × 40%). Maternal grandmother is the obligee with Mother and Father as separate obligors owing [$594 and $396] $596 and $397, respectively, to the maternal grandmother.
(3) In [actions] an action in which the plaintiff is a public body or private agency pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.3, the [amount of the order] basic child support obligation shall be calculated under the guidelines based upon [each obligor's] the parent's monthly net income[, as defined in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-2,] with the public or private entity's monthly net income as zero. In such cases, each parent shall be treated as a separate obligor, and the parent's obligation will be based upon [his or her own] the parent's monthly net income without regard to the other parent's monthly net income [of the other parent].
(i) The [amount of] basic child support obligation owed to [other children] a child not in placement shall be deducted from each parent's monthly net income before calculating support for the child [or children] in placement, including the [amount of] direct support the support guidelines assume [will be provided by] the custodial parent will provide.
Example 2. [Mother and Father] The parents have three children and do not live in the same household. Mother has primary custody of two children and monthly net income of [$2,000] $2,500 per month. Father's monthly net income is [$3,000] $4,000. The parties' third child is in foster care placement. Pursuant to the schedule in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3, the basic child support [amount] obligation for the two children with Mother is [$1,415] $1,733. As Father's income is [60%] 62% of the parties' combined monthly net income, [his] Father's basic child support obligation to Mother is [$849] $1,074 per month. The guidelines assume that Mother will provide [$566] $659 per month in direct expenditures to the two children [in her home]. The agency/obligee brings an action against each parent for the support of the child in placement. Father/obligor's monthly net income will be [$2,151] $2,926 for purposes of this calculation ([$3,000] $4,000 less [$849] $1,074 in support for the children with Mother). As the agency/obligee's income is zero, Father's support for the child in placement will be 100% of the [schedule amount of] basic child support obligation for one child at the [$2,151] $2,926 income level, or [$509] $674 per month. Mother/obligor's net income will be [$1,434] $1,841 for purposes of this calculation ([$2,000] $2,500 less [$566] $659 in direct support to the children in [her custody). Her] Mother's custody. Mother's support obligation will be 100% of the [schedule amount] basic child support obligation for one child at that income level, or [$348] $423 per month.
Example 3. [Mother and Father] The parents have two children in placement. Father owes child support of $500 per month for two children of a former marriage. At the same income levels as in Example 2, Father's monthly net income for determining his obligation to the children in placement would be [$2,500 ($3,000] $3,500 ($4,000 less $500 support for two children of prior marriage). [His] Father's obligation to the agency would be [$849] $1,205 per month (100% of the [schedule amount] basic child support obligation for two children at the [$2,500] $3,500 per month income level). Mother's monthly net income would not be diminished as she owes no other child support. [She] Mother would owe [$686] $877 for the children in placement (100% of the [schedule amount] basic child support obligation for two children at the [$2,000] $2,500 income level).
(ii) If the parents reside in the same household, [their respective obligations to the children who remain] each parent's respective basic child support obligation to a child that remains in the household and [are] is not in placement shall be calculated according to the guidelines, with the parent having the higher income as the obligor, and the calculated [support amount] basic child support obligation shall be deducted from the parents' monthly net incomes for purposes of calculating support for [the child(ren)] a child in placement.
Example 4. [Mother and Father] The parents have four children, two of whom are in placement. Mother's monthly net income is $4,000 and Father's is $3,000. The basic child support [amount] obligation for the two children in the home is [$1,660] $1,841, according to the schedule in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3. As Mother's monthly net income is 57% of the parties' combined monthly net [incomes] income, her share would be [$946] $1,049, and Father's 43% share would be [$714] $792. Mother's monthly net income for purposes of calculating support for the two children in placement would be [$3,054] $2,951 ($4,000 less [$946] $1,049). She would pay 100% of the basic child support obligation at that income level, or [$1,032] $1,026, for the children in placement. Father's monthly net income would be [$2,286] $2,208 ($3,000 less [$714)] $792), and his obligation to the children in placement would be [$784] $772.
(iii) [In the event that the combined amount the parents are required to pay exceeds the cost of placement, the trier-of-fact shall deviate the support amount downward to reduce each parent's obligation in proportion to his or her share of the combined obligation.] If the basic child support obligation exceeds the placement's cost, the trier-of-fact shall:
(A) deviate the basic child support obligation downward; and
(B) apply the parent's percentage of the combined monthly net income to the reduced basic child support obligation.
(4) The support of a spouse or child is a priority obligation so that a party is expected to meet this obligation by adjusting [his or her] the party's other expenditures.
(b) Support [Amount] Obligation. The support [amount] obligation (child support, spousal support, or alimony pendente lite) awarded pursuant to the Pa.R.C.P. Nos. 1910.11 and 1910.12 procedures [must] shall be determined in accordance with the support guidelines, which consist of the guidelines expressed as the basic child support schedule in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3, the Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4 formulas, and the operation of the support guidelines as set forth in these rules.
(c) Spousal Support and Alimony Pendente Lite.
(1) Spousal support and alimony pendente lite orders [must] shall not be in effect simultaneously.
(2) In determining a spousal support or alimony pendente lite [award's] obligation's duration, the trier-of-fact shall consider the marriage's duration, i.e., the date of marriage to the date of final separation.
(d) Rebuttable Presumption. If the trier-of-fact determines that a party has a duty to pay support, there is a rebuttable presumption that the guideline-calculated support [amount] obligation is the correct support [amount] obligation.
(1) The presumption is rebutted if the trier-of-fact concludes in a written finding or states on the record that the guideline support [amount] obligation is unjust or inappropriate.
(2) The trier-of-fact shall consider the [children's] child's and parties' special needs and obligations, and apply the Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-5 deviation factors, as appropriate.
* * * * * Rule 1910.16-2. Support Guidelines. Calculation of Monthly Net Income.
Generally, the [support amount awarded] the basic child support, spousal support, or alimony pendente lite obligation is based on the parties' monthly net [income] incomes.
(a) Monthly Gross Income. Monthly gross income is ordinarily based on at least a six-month average of a party's income. The support law, 23 Pa.C.S. § 4302, defines the term ''income'' and includes income from any source. The statute lists many types of income including, but not limited to:
(1) wages, salaries, bonuses, fees, and commissions;
(2) net income from business or dealings in property;
(3) interest, rents, royalties, and dividends;
(4) pensions and all forms of retirement;
(5) income from an interest in an estate or trust;
(6) Social Security disability benefits, Social Security retirement benefits, temporary and permanent disability benefits, workers' compensation, and unemployment compensation;
(7) alimony if, in the trier-of-fact's discretion, inclusion of part or all of it is appropriate; and
Official Note: In determining the appropriateness of including alimony in gross income, the trier-of-fact shall consider whether the party receiving the alimony must include the amount received as gross income when filing [his or her] federal income taxes. If the alimony is not includable in the party's gross income for federal income tax purposes, the trier-of-fact may include in the party's monthly net income the alimony received, as appropriate. See Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-2(c)(2)(ii).
Since the reasons for ordering payment of alimony vary, the appropriateness of including it in the recipient's gross income must also vary. For example, if the obligor is paying $1,000 per month in alimony for the express purpose of financing the obligee's college education, it would be inappropriate to consider that alimony as income from which the obligee could provide child support. However, if alimony is intended to finance the obligee's general living expenses, inclusion of the alimony as income is appropriate.
(8) other entitlements to money or lump sum awards, without regard to source, including:
(i) lottery winnings;
(ii) income tax refunds;
(iii) insurance compensation or settlements;
(iv) awards and verdicts; and
(v) payments due to and collectible by an individual regardless of source.
Official Note: The trier-of-fact determines the most appropriate method for imputing lump-sum awards as income for purposes of establishing or modifying the party's support obligation. These awards may be annualized or averaged over a shorter or longer period depending on the case's circumstances. The trier-of-fact may [order] require all or part of the lump sum award escrowed to secure the support obligation during that period.
The trier-of-fact shall not include income tax refunds in a party's income, if the trier-of-fact factored in the tax refund when calculating the party's actual tax obligation and monthly net income.
(b) Treatment of Public Assistance, SSI Benefits, Social Security Payments to a Child Due to a Parent's Death, Disability or Retirement and Foster Care Payments.
(1) Public Assistance and SSI Benefits. Neither public assistance nor Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits shall be included as income for determining support.
(2) Child's Social Security Derivative Benefits.
(i) If a child is receiving Social Security derivative benefits due to a parent's retirement or disability:
(A) The trier-of-fact shall determine the basic child support [amount] obligation as follows:
(I) add the child's benefit to the monthly net income of the party who receives the child's benefit;
(II) calculate the parties' combined monthly net income, including the child's benefit;
(III) determine the basic child support [amount] obligation set forth in the Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3 schedule; and
(IV) apportion the basic child support [amount] obligation between the parties based on the party's percentage of the combined monthly net income.
(B) If the obligee receives the child's benefit, the trier-of-fact shall deduct the child's benefit from the basic child support obligation of the party whose retirement or disability created the child's benefit.
(C) If the obligor receives the child's benefit, the trier-of-fact shall not deduct the child's benefit from the obligor's basic child support obligation, even if the obligor's retirement or disability created the child's benefit. To illustrate for the parties the impact of the obligor receiving the benefit instead of the obligee, the [domestic relations section] trier-of-fact shall provide the parties with two calculations theoretically assigning the benefit to each household.
(D) The trier-of-fact shall allocate the [additional] expenses in Pa.R.C.P. No. [1910.16-6] 1910.16-6(a)—(e) based on the parties' monthly net incomes without considering the child's benefit.
(E) In equally shared custody cases, the party with the higher monthly net income, excluding the child's benefit, is the obligor.
[(ii) If a child is receiving Social Security derivative benefits due to a parent's death:
(A) The trier-of-fact shall determine the surviving parent's basic child support amount as follows:
(I) The non-parent obligee's monthly net income shall include only those funds the obligee is receiving on the child's behalf, including the Social Security derivative benefit.
(II) If the surviving-parent obligor receives the Social Security derivative benefit, the benefit shall be added to the parent's monthly net income to calculate child support.]
(ii) If a child is receiving Social Security derivative benefits due to a parent's death, the trier-of-fact shall determine the surviving parent's basic child support obligation as follows.
(A) The non-parent obligee's monthly net income shall include only those funds the obligee is receiving on the child's behalf, including the Social Security derivative benefit.
(B) If the surviving-parent obligor receives the Social Security derivative benefit, the benefit shall be added to the parent's monthly net income to calculate child support.
(3) Foster Care Payments. If [either] a party to a support action is a foster parent [and/or] or is receiving payments from a public or private agency for the care of a child who is not [his or her] the party's biological or adoptive child, [those payments shall not be included in the income of the foster parent or other caretaker] the trier-of-fact shall not include those payments in the party's monthly net income for purposes of calculating child support for the foster parent's or other caretaker's biological or adoptive child.
Example 1. The obligor has monthly net income of $2,000. The obligee's monthly net income is $1,500 and the obligee, as primary custodial parent of the parties' two children, receives $700 per month in Social Security derivative benefits on behalf of the children as a result of the obligor's disability. Add the children's benefit to the obligee's income, which now is $2,200 per month. At the parties' combined monthly net income of $4,200, the [amount of] basic child support obligation for two children is [$1,301] $1,372. As the obligor's income is 48% of the parties' combined monthly net income, the obligor's preliminary share of the basic child support obligation is [$624] $659. However, because the obligor's disability created the children's Social Security derivative benefits that the obligee is receiving, the obligor's obligation is reduced by the amount of the benefit, $700. As the support [amount] obligation cannot be less than zero, the obligor's basic child support obligation is $0 per month. If it were the obligee's disability that created the benefit, the obligor's basic child support obligation would remain [$624] $659. If the obligor were receiving the children's benefit as a result of the obligor's retirement or disability, the obligor's monthly net income would include the amount of the benefit and total $2,700, or 64% of the parties' combined monthly net income. The obligor's share of the basic child support obligation would then be [$833] $878 and would not be reduced by the amount of the children's benefit because the obligor, not the obligee, is receiving the benefit. Therefore, the obligor's basic child support obligation is less if the obligee is receiving the benefit created by the obligor.
Example 2. Two children live with Grandmother who receives $800 per month in Social Security death benefits for the children as a result of Father's death. Grandmother also receives $500 per month from a trust established by Father for the benefit of the children. Grandmother is employed and earns $2,000 net per month. Grandmother seeks support from the children's mother, who earns $2,000 net per month. For purposes of calculating Mother's basic child support obligation, Grandmother's income will be $1,300, the amount she receives on the children's behalf [of the children] in Social Security derivative benefits and the trust income [from the trust]. (If Mother were receiving the benefit on the children's behalf [of the children it], the benefit would be added to [her income such that] Mother's monthly net income and would be $2,800 [and]. Grandmother's monthly net income would be $500.) Therefore, Mother's and Grandmother's combined monthly net [incomes total] income totals $3,300. The basic child support [amount] obligation at the $3,300 monthly net income level for two children is [$1,115] $1,137. As Mother's monthly net income of $2,000 is 61% of the parties' combined monthly net income of $3,300, [her portion of the] Mother's basic child support obligation is [$680] $694. Since Mother's retirement or disability did not generate the child's derivative benefit, the benefit amount is not subtracted from [her portion of the] Mother's basic child support [amount] obligation, and Mother owes Grandmother [$680] $694. If Grandmother was not receiving the children's derivative benefits or trust income [from the trust, her], Grandmother's monthly net income for purposes of calculating Mother's basic child support obligation would be zero, and Mother would pay 100% of the basic child support [amount] obligation because Grandmother has no duty to support the children.
Official Note: Care must be taken to distinguish Social Security from Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits. Social Security benefits are income pursuant to subdivision (a) of this rule.
(c) Monthly Net Income.
(1) Unless these rules provide otherwise, the trier-of-fact shall deduct only the following items from monthly gross income to arrive at monthly net income:
(i) federal, state, and local income taxes;
(ii) unemployment compensation taxes and Local Services Taxes (LST);
(iii) F.I.C.A. payments (Social Security, Medicare and Self-Employment taxes) and non-voluntary retirement payments;
(iv) mandatory union dues; and
(v) alimony paid to the other party.
(2) In computing a spousal support or alimony pendente lite obligation, the trier-of-fact shall:
(i) deduct from the obligor's monthly net income child support, spousal support, alimony pendente lite, or alimony amounts paid to children and former spouses, who are not part of this action; and
(ii) include in a party's monthly net income alimony pendente lite or alimony received from a former spouse that was not included in the party's gross income, as provided in subdivision (a).
Official Note: Since the reasons for ordering payment of alimony vary, the appropriateness of including it in the recipient's monthly net income must also vary. For example, if the obligor is paying $1,000 per month in alimony for the express purpose of financing the obligee's college education, it would be inappropriate to consider that alimony as income from which the obligee could provide child support. However, if alimony is intended to finance the obligee's general living expenses, inclusion of the alimony as income is appropriate.
(d) Reduced Income or Fluctuating [Income] Earnings.
(1) [Voluntary Reduction of Income. When either party voluntarily assumes a lower paying job, quits a job, leaves employment, changes occupations or changes employment status to pursue an education, or is fired for cause, there generally will be no effect on the support obligation.] Voluntary Income Reduction. The trier-of-fact shall not downwardly adjust a party's net income if the trier-of-fact finds that:
(i) the party's income reduction resulted from the party willfully attempting to favorably affect the party's basic support obligation; or
(ii) the party voluntarily assumed a lower paying job, quit a job, left employment, changed occupations, changed employment status to pursue an education, or employment is terminated due to willful misconduct.
(2) [Involuntary Reduction of, and Fluctuations in, Income. No adjustments in support payments will be made for normal fluctuations in earnings. However, appropriate adjustments will be made for substantial continuing involuntary decreases in income, including but not limited to the result of illness, lay-off, termination, job elimination or some other employment situation over which the party has no control unless the trier of fact finds that such a reduction in income was willfully undertaken in an attempt to avoid or reduce the support obligation.] Involuntary Income Reduction. Incarceration. Earnings Fluctuations.
(i) Involuntary Income Reduction. The trier-of-fact shall adjust a party's monthly net income for substantial continuing involuntary decreases in income due to an employment situation over which the party has no control, including, but not limited to, illness, lay-off, termination, or job elimination.
(ii) Incarceration.
(A) Except as set forth in subdivision (d)(2)(ii)(B), the trier-of-fact shall:
(I) consider an incarcerated party's income reduction as an involuntary income reduction as set forth in subdivision (d)(2)(i); and
(II) adjust the incarcerated party's monthly net income accordingly.
(B) Exception.
(I) A party's incarceration shall not constitute an involuntary income reduction when the incarceration is due to support enforcement purposes or a criminal offense in which the party's dependent child or the obligee was the victim; and
(II) The trier-of-fact makes a written finding that downwardly adjusting the incarcerated party's monthly net income would be unjust or inappropriate and, in a child support action, takes into consideration the child's best interest.
(iii) Earnings Fluctuations. The trier-of-fact shall not adjust a party's monthly net income due to normal or temporary earnings fluctuations.
(3) Seasonal Employees. [Support orders for seasonal employees, such as construction workers, shall ordinarily be based upon a yearly average.] Generally, the trier-of-fact shall base a seasonal employee's monthly net income on a yearly average.
(4) Earning Capacity. [If the trier of fact determines that a party to a support action has willfully failed to obtain or maintain appropriate employment, the trier of fact may impute to that party an income equal to the party's earning capacity. Age, education, training, health, work experience, earnings history and child care responsibilities are factors which shall be considered in determining earning capacity. In order for an earning capacity to be assessed, the trier of fact must state the reasons for the assessment in writing or on the record. Generally, the trier of fact should not impute an earning capacity that is greater than the amount the party would earn from one full-time position. Determination of what constitutes a reasonable work regimen depends upon all relevant circumstances including the choice of jobs available within a particular occupation, working hours, working conditions and whether a party has exerted substantial good faith efforts to find employment.]
(i) When a party willfully fails to obtain or maintain appropriate employment, the trier-of-fact may impute to the party an income equal to the party's earning capacity.
(A) Earning Capacity Limitation. The trier-of-fact:
(I) shall not impute to the party an earning capacity that exceeds the amount the party could earn from one full-time position; and
(II) shall determine a reasonable work regimen based upon the party's relevant circumstances, including the jobs available within a particular occupation, working hours and conditions, and whether a party has exerted substantial good faith efforts to find employment.
(B) The trier-of-fact shall base the party's earning capacity on the subdivision (d)(4)(ii) factors.
(C) After assessing a party's earning capacity, the trier-of-fact shall state the reasons for the assessment in writing or on the record.
(D) When the trier-of-fact imputes an earning capacity to a party who would incur childcare expenses if the party were employed, the trier-of-fact shall consider reasonable childcare responsibilities and expenses.
(ii) Factors. In determining a party's earning capacity, the trier-of-fact shall consider the party's:
(A) child care responsibilities and expenses;
(B) assets;
(C) residence;
(D) employment and earnings history;
(E) job skills;
(F) educational attainment;
(G) literacy;
(H) age;
(I) health;
(J) criminal record and other employment barriers;
(K) record of seeking work;
(L) local job market, including the availability of employers who are willing to hire the party;
(M) local community prevailing earnings level; and
Official Note: See 45 C.F.R. § 302.56(c)(1)(iii) regarding earning capacity factors.
(e) Net Income Affecting Application of the Support Guidelines.
[(1) Low-Income Cases.
(i) If the obligor's monthly net income and corresponding number of children fall into the shaded area of the schedule set forth in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3, the basic child support obligation shall be calculated initially by using the obligor's monthly net income only. For example, if the obligor has monthly net income of $1,100, the presumptive support amount for three children is $110 per month. This amount is determined directly from the schedule in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3. Next, the obligor's child support obligation is calculated by using the parties' combined monthly net incomes and the appropriate formula in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4. The lower of the two calculated amounts shall be the obligor's basic child support obligation.
Example 1: The parties have two children. The obligor has monthly net income of $1,500, which falls into the shaded area of the schedule for two children. Using only the obligor's monthly net income, the amount of support for two children would be $472. Next, calculate support using the parties' combined monthly net incomes. The obligee has monthly net income of $2,500 so the combined monthly net income of the parties is $4,000. The basic child support amount at that income level for two children is $1,269. As the obligor's income is 38% of the combined monthly net income of the parties, the obligor's share of the basic support amount is $482. As the amount of support the obligor would pay using only the obligor's income is less than the amount calculated using the parties' combined monthly net incomes, the lower amount would be awarded, and the obligor's basic child support obligation would be $472.
(ii) In computing a basic spousal support or alimony pendente lite obligation, the presumptive support amount shall not reduce the obligor's monthly net income below the Self-Support Reserve of $981 per month.
Example 2: If the obligor earns $1,000 per month and the obligee earns $300 per month, the formula in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4(a)(1)(Part B) would result in a support obligation of $213 per month (($1,000 × 33%) or $333 minus ($300 × 40%) or $120 for a total of $213). Since this amount leaves the obligor with only $787 per month, it must be adjusted so that the obligor retains at least $981 per month. The presumptive minimum spousal support amount, therefore, is $19 per month in this case.
(iii) If the obligor's monthly net income is $981 or less, the trier-of-fact may award support only after consideration of the parties' actual financial resources and living expenses.
(2) High-Income Cases. If the parties' combined monthly net income exceeds $30,000 per month, child support, spousal support, and alimony pendente lite calculations shall be pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3.1.

(i) Self-Support Reserve (SSR).
(A) The SSR is the minimum monthly net income reserved to the obligor to meet the obligor's basic needs.
(B) The SSR amount is $ 1,063 per month.
(ii) Action for Child Support Only. When the obligor's monthly net income and the number of children in the action intersect in the Basic Child Support Schedule's shaded area as set forth in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3, the trier-of-fact shall determine the obligor's basic child support obligation utilizing the lesser of the two calculated amounts from the following methodologies.
(A) The initial calculation is determined by using the obligor's monthly net income only, the schedule set forth in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3, and the number of children.
(B) The second calculation is determined by using the parties' combined monthly net income and the basic child support formula in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4(a).
(C) If the obligor's monthly net income is at or below the SSR, the trier-of-fact may award support only after consideration of the parties' actual financial resources and living expenses.
(iii) Action for Spousal Support/Alimony Pendente Lite Only.
(A) After calculating the spousal support or alimony pendente lite obligation as provided in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4, the spousal support obligation shall not reduce the obligor's monthly net income below the SSR.
(B) If the obligor's monthly net income after subtracting the spousal support or alimony pendente lite obligation is less than the SSR, the trier-of-fact shall adjust the spousal support or alimony pendente lite obligation downward by an amount sufficient for the obligor to retain the SSR amount.
Example 2: The obligor has $1,200 monthly net income, and the obligee has $300 monthly net income. The formula in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4(a)(1)(Part B) would result in a monthly spousal support obligation of $276 (($1,200 × 33% = $396) minus ($300 × 40% = $120) for a total of $276)). Since this amount leaves the obligor with only $924 per month, the trier-of-fact should adjust the support obligation so the obligor retains at least $1,063 per month. Therefore, the spousal support obligation is $137 per month ($1,200 - $1,063).
(iv) Action with Child Support and Spousal Support or Alimony Pendente Lite.
(A) The trier-of-fact shall calculate the spousal support or alimony pendente lite obligation as provided in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4.
(B) The trier-of-fact shall subtract the calculated spousal support or alimony pendente lite obligation from the obligor's monthly net income to determine the obligor's adjusted monthly net income.
(C) When the obligor's adjusted monthly net income and the number of children in the action intersect in the Basic Child Support Schedule's shaded area as set forth in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3, the trier-of-fact:
(I) shall not award spousal support or alimony pendente lite; and
(II) shall calculate child support as provided in subdivision (e)(1)(ii).
Example 3: Obligor and obligee have monthly net incomes of $2,000 and $165, respectively, and have two children. Calculating spousal support under subdivision (e)(1)(iv)(A) results in a spousal support obligation of $450 ($2,000 × 25% minus $165 × 30%). Obligor's adjusted monthly net income ($2,000 minus $450) is $1,550. Obligor's adjusted monthly net income of $1,550 with two children is in the shaded area of the Basic Child Support Schedule, and as a result, the trier-of-fact shall not award spousal support. Instead, the trier-of-fact should award child support only as provided in subdivision (e)(1)(ii).
(D) When the obligor's monthly net income and the number of children in the action do not intersect in the Basic Child Support Schedule's shaded area as set forth in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3, the trier-of-fact shall calculate child support consistent with Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4.
(I) The combined spousal support or alimony pendente lite and basic child support obligations shall not reduce the obligor's remaining monthly net income below the SSR.
(II) If the obligor's monthly net income after subtracting the spousal support or alimony pendente lite and basic child support obligations is less than the SSR, the trier-of-fact shall adjust the support obligation downward by an amount sufficient for the obligor to retain the SSR amount.
(2) High-Income Cases. If the parties' combined monthly net income exceeds $30,000, the trier-of-fact shall calculate child support, spousal support, or alimony pendente lite pursuant to Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-3.1.
Official Note: See Hanrahan v. Bakker, 186 A.3d 958 (Pa. 2018).
(f) Child Tax Credit. In order to maximize the total income available to the parties and children, the trier-of-fact may award, as appropriate, the federal child tax credit to the non-custodial parent, or to either parent in cases of equally shared custody, and [order] require the other party to execute the waiver required by the Internal Revenue Code, 26 U.S.C. § 152(e). The trier-of-fact shall consider the tax consequences associated with the federal child tax credit [must be considered] in calculating the party's monthly net income available for support.

Explanatory Comment—2015 The rule has been amended to provide that a party's support obligation will be reduced by the child's Social Security derivative benefit amount if that party's retirement or disability created the benefit and the benefit is being paid to the household in which the child primarily resides or the obligee in cases of equally shared custody. In most cases, payment of the benefit to the obligee's household will increase the resources available to the child and the parties. The rule is intended to encourage parties to direct that the child's benefits be paid to the obligee.
Explanatory Comment—2021 The Self-Support Reserve is determined by the Federal Poverty Guideline for one person converted to a monthly amount—currently $1,063—for the year the Basic Child Support Schedule was derived.
Subdivision (e)(1) addresses low-income cases and has been completely rewritten and identifies the current monthly Self-Support Reserve (SSR) amount as $1,063. The SSR is the amount of the obligor's monthly net income that is reserved to meet the obligor's basic needs. Subdivisions (e)(1)(ii)—(iv) adjust the methodology for calculating support when the obligor's monthly net income is at or near the SSR amount.
Rule 1910.16-3. Support Guidelines. Basic Child Support Schedule.
The following schedule represents the amounts spent on children of intact families by combined monthly net income and number of children. Combined monthly net income is on the schedule's vertical axis, and the number of children is on the schedule's horizontal axis. This schedule determines the basic child support obligation. Unless these rules provide otherwise, the obligor's [share of the] basic child support obligation shall be computed using either the formula set forth in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4(a)(1)(Part C) or [(2)(Part I)] (a)(2)(Part I).

Explanatory Comment—2013 The basic child support schedule has been amended to reflect updated economic data. It also reflects an increase in the Self-Support Reserve to $931, the 2012 poverty level for one person, which has been incorporated into the schedule.
Explanatory Comment—2021
Previously, the Basic Child Support Schedule incorporated a 30% child custody presumption, which created approximately a 5% decrease in the basic child support obligation across all combined monthly net incomes regardless of the actual custody schedule. The new Basic Child Support Schedule reflects the actual expenses of an intact family living in a single household at the various combined monthly net incomes and the number of children with no shared custody adjustment.
To the extent the parties share physical custody with the obligor having 40% or more of the annual overnights as set forth in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4(c), the formula in Pa.R.C.P. No. 1910.16-4(a)(1)(Part D) or (a)(2)(Part II) should be used to calculate the appropriate shared custody adjustment.
