About the Divorce Calculator
Enter each spouse income, the number of children, and your state. The calculator compares your combined tax while married with your combined tax after divorce, assuming children live with the higher earner who files as head of household.
Frequently asked questions
Does divorce raise taxes?
It can. Many couples pay less together, but the result depends on how similar your incomes are and who claims the children.
Which filing status applies after divorce?
Your status is based on your marital status on December 31. After a divorce you file as single, or as head of household if you qualify.
Is the result exact?
These results are estimates for planning, not tax advice. They do not include local taxes, health insurance, or other payroll deductions.
