Child support is still based on your income, however if the business is paying some of your personal expenses then that can also be considered income to you. If the business is retaining a significant amount of profits, that could also be considered income to you.

I have started an S-Corp and wonder how child support is calculated? Is it based on the salary I take or company distributions or both?
