Dear sarah m:

Greetings. I am not sure about other calculators, but our child support calculator follows the law in North Carolina. When we are computing child support, only the amount of health insurance premiums paid for the benefit of the minor child(ren) is used in the calculation. Best of luck.

In using the [rosen.com](http://rosen.com) child support calculator for NC I have been putting in the amount of my daughters health insurance costs.

My ex-husband referred me to a site [alllaw.com](http://alllaw.com) for nc to calculate child support and it asks for the entire amount paid for a family health insurance policy. Do different calculators require you to put in different amounts.
