Compare a proposed South Carolina alimony payment.

Enter household income, expenses, and a monthly payment you want to compare.

Applies to take-home income only. Expenses and the proposed payment are monthly.

Household paying alimony

Household receiving alimony

Choose your own figure. South Carolina Code §20-3-130 does not provide one statewide percentage formula for the amount.

The support type changes termination and modification rules. It does not change the payment you enter.

Length of the marriage

Marriage length is one statutory factor. This worksheet does not convert it into an award formula.

This worksheet compares a payment you choose. It does not decide adultery, eligibility, or what a South Carolina court would award.

  • Before-and-after household budgets
