If the paying parent earns more than $150,000 per year, you may need to calculate both incomes.
The Federal Guidelines provide two options:
</p>
<ulstyle="list-style: none;">
<li>
<strong>Option 1</strong>: You can use the tables to determine the child support amount for the first $150,000. Then add
the percentage listed in the tables for the portion of income over $150,000. If you choose this
option, you would only need to calculate the paying parent’s income.
</li>
<li>
<strong>Option 2</strong>: You can use the tables to determine the child support amount for the first $150,000. You can
then determine an amount for the portion of income over $150,000 by looking at the condition,
means, needs and other circumstances of the child and the financial ability of each of you to
contribute. If you choose this option, you would need to calculate both incomes.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
In some cases:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
You may need to calculate your child’s income—for example, if the child is over the age of
majority and you are taking his or her financial means into consideration to determine a
child support amount.
</li>
<li>
You may need to calculate the income of every member of both households to compare the
standards of living if either of you is claiming undue hardship.
</li>
</ul>

The child support tables only show an amount for the first $150,000 of income.
You have
two choices for determining how much child support should be paid on the portion
of
income over $150,000:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
you can multiply the amount of income over $150,000 by the percentage shown
in the
table for the province or territory where the paying parent lives; or
</li>
<li>
you can agree on an additional amount of support based on the condition,
means,
needs and other circumstances of your children and your financial ability to
contribute.
</li>
</ul>
