How much is csa for one child

How much child maintenance should I pay?

If you and your ex-partner have children, you’re both expected to continue to pay towards their costs after you separate. And often that means one parent will pay the other. You can agree this between you or, if you can’t agree, ask the Child Maintenance Service to calculate the amount.

What’s in this guide

• Arranging child maintenance yourselves
• How much are you expected to pay?
• When does child maintenance stop?
• How your income affects how much you pay
• How the number of children affects how much you pay
• How shared care affects child maintenance
• Paying for children from another relationship

Arranging child maintenance yourselves

If you and the other parent are arranging child maintenance between you, you’re free to decide the amount one parent pays the other. This is referred to as a family-based arrangement.

While the Child Maintenance Service doesn’t need to be involved if you do this, it’s a good idea to check the amount you agree against what they would assess it to be.

It’s important to think about what you’d like to include in this payment and how you’d like to pay:

• Do you want to pay a fixed regular amount or will you vary it to help with extra expenses throughout the year?
• Do you want to cover the cost of things like school uniform, activities or holidays?
• Do you want to pay a percentage of your earnings? If your earnings fluctuate, this might be helpful to you but it would mean the amount of child support is less predictable.

How much are you expected to pay?

If you can’t agree how much child maintenance one parent should pay the other, you can ask the Child Maintenance Service to calculate it for you.

They’ll take into account:

• how many children you have
• the paying parent’s income
• how much time children spend with the paying parent
• whether the paying parent is paying child maintenance for other children.

When does child maintenance stop?

You’re normally expected to pay child maintenance until your child is 16, or until they’re 20 if they’re in school or college full-time studying for:

• A-levels
• Highers, or
• equivalent.

Child maintenance might stop earlier – for example, if one parent dies or the child no longer qualifies for child benefit.

How your income affects how much you pay

There are different child maintenance rates according to the paying parent’s gross weekly income – this means how much you receive before things like tax and National Insurance are taken off.

Child maintenance amounts based on weekly pay

(2021 figures - see GOV.UK for more information. )

If your gross weekly income is more than £3,000, you can apply to the court to make a child maintenance ‘top-up’ order.

But before the court will deal with your application, they’ll need to see a Child Maintenance Service calculation showing this.

How the number of children affects how much you pay

If you’re paying child maintenance and you’re on the basic rate of child maintenance, the amount you pay will depend on the number of children you’re being asked to pay for.

The figures below assume that your children stay with the parent who receives child maintenance all the time.

On the basic rate, if you’re paying for:

• one child, you’ll pay 12% of your gross weekly income
• two children, you’ll pay 16% of your gross weekly income
• three or more children, you’ll pay 19% of your gross weekly income.

How shared care affects child maintenance

Many parents decide to share the care of their children.

If your children spend some time with the paying parent, this will reduce the amount of child maintenance he or she pays.

There are different ‘bands’ which determine how much child maintenance is reduced by.

The amount of child maintenance is reduced for each child who spends time with the paying parent.

If over the year your child is with the paying parent between:

• 52 and 103 nights: child maintenance is reduced by 1/7th for each child
• 104 and 155 nights: child maintenance is reduced by 2/7th for each child
• 156 and 174 nights: child maintenance is reduced by 3/7th for each child
• 175 nights or more nights: child maintenance is reduced by 50%, plus an extra £7 a week reduction for each child.

Paying for children from another relationship

If the paying parent’s gross weekly income is between £200 and £3,000, and they pay child maintenance for other children, this is taken into account when working out how much they should pay.

The Child Maintenance Service simply reduces the amount of weekly income that it takes into account. For example, if the paying parent is paying for:

• one other child, their weekly income will be reduced by 11%
• two other children, their weekly income will be reduced by 14%
• three or more other children, their weekly income will be reduced by 16%.

Child maintenance rates explained | nidirect

The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) uses the information about your family, circumstances and income to work out how much child maintenance should be paid per week. There are five rates of maintenance. Which rate is paid depends on the paying parent’s circumstances.

Rates 

There are five rates of maintenance and you will pay whichever suits your individual circumstances.

Nil rate

If you are a paying parent, you do not have to pay any child maintenance if you:

• have a gross weekly income of less than £7
• are under 16 years old
• are aged 16 to 19 years old and have left school but are registered for certain types of government approved training courses
• are aged 16 to 19 years old and are in full-time education (up to and including A-Level or equal standard)
• are aged 16 or 17 years old and receive Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance or Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• are aged 16 or 17 years old and are included in your partner’s claim for Income Support, Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance or Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• are in prison
• live in a care home or independent hospital (or similar services in Scotland) and are getting help with the fees

Flat rate

You will pay a flat rate of £7 a week child maintenance if your gross weekly income is less than £100 a week or if you, or your partner you live with, receive any of the benefits listed below.

The £7 will normally be taken from either you or your partner’s benefit which will also result in you paying an additional £1.40 per week collection charge, if it is paid by the Department for Communities (DfC). If it is not and is paid, for example, through an Armed Forces Scheme, you should let CMS know.

• Income Support
• Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
• Pension Credit
• Contribution-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
• Contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance
• Category A, B, C or D Retirement Pension
• State Pension
• Incapacity Benefit
• Training allowance (other than work-based training for young people or, in Scotland, Skill-seekers training)
• Armed Forces Compensation Scheme payments
• War Disablement Pension
• War Widow’s Pension, War Widower’s Pension, or Surviving Civil Partner Pension
• Bereavement Allowance
• Maternity Allowance
• Carer’s Allowance

• Industrial Injuries Benefit
• Widowed Mother’s Allowance
• Widowed Parent’s Allowance
• Widow’s Pension
• a social security benefit paid by a country other than the United Kingdom
• Universal Credit

• Child Maintenance Service

Reduced rate

The reduced rate will apply if your gross weekly income is more than £100 but less than £200. You will pay a standard amount of £7 a week for the first £100 of your income plus a percentage of the gross weekly income for the rest of your income.

The percentage you pay depends on:

• the number of children you must pay child maintenance for
• if you are supporting any other children

If you are not supporting any other children, the rates are applied as follows:

If you are supporting other children the rates applied are as follows:

number of children you pay child maintenance for	number of children you are supporting	standard amount (for the first £100 of income)	percentage of remaining gross weekly income (up to £200)
One	One	£7	14.1%
One	Two	£7	13.2%
One	Three or more	£7	12. 4%
Two	One	£7	21.2%
Two	Two	£7	19.9%
Two	Three or more	£7	18.9%
Three or more	One	£7	26.4%
Three or more	Two	£7	24.9%
Three or more	Three or more	£7	23.8%

Example: If you pay child maintenance for one child and also support another child you must pay:

• a standard amount of £7 a week for the first £100 of income 
• 14.1 per cent of the rest of your gross weekly income (up to £200)

Basic rate  

The basic rate will be applied if your gross weekly income is £200 or more, up to and including £800. The percentage of gross weekly income you pay will depend on the number of children you are paying child maintenance for.

Basic plus rate

The basic plus rate will be applied on top of the basic rate if your gross weekly income is more than £800 up to a limit of £3,000.

This means that on top of the percentages that you pay (set out above) for the first £800 of gross weekly income, you must pay the following additional percentage for any income between £800 and £3000.
