You need to know about the care cost percentage. This is part of the Child Support Act 1991. It is based on the proportion of ongoing daily care you give to a child. The care cost percentage is worked out using a table. The table shows different proportions of care and the corresponding care cost percentage. For example, if you give 0 to 27% of the care, the care cost percentage is nil. The care cost percentage increases as the proportion of care increases. You can find more information about this in sections ss 2(1) and 16 of the Act.
