Maintenance & separation budget planner
Compare your current and planned expenses. Monthly equivalents are calculated for you.
Expense rows
Add each recurring expense once. Choose the frequency — it applies to both the current and planned amounts. Leave either amount blank if you don't know it yet.
No expenses added yet.
Personal income (optional)
Enter your monthly take-home income to see income minus your planned monthly expenses. Unknown income shows no gap. This is not a maintenance calculation or affordability certificate.
Optional. Blank means unknown — no gap is shown.

The “Children & education” category prepares a discussion; it does not prescribe maintenance liability. Shared household costs are counted once — the tool does not auto-allocate 50/50 or predict any award.
