As I read, for every dollar a State spends on child support programs, the Federal Government reimburses them .66. Some States, like Ohio for instance, add a small "poundage" fee to offset costs of operation and collections. In Ohio, that fee is 2%.
The amount that a parent pays (yes, sometimes it's mothers that are the payer of child support) is a figure derived by totaling the income of both parents, determining a percentage deemed a "need", then the need is split by prorating to the higher or lower income of the payer and payee. For example, if the two parents make a combined $100K (easy numbers for easy math), and the total "need" is determined to be $20K, if the Father makes say $60K and the mother only earns $40K, it is determined that he is responsible for 60% of the $20K need, or roughly $12K per year, or $1K per month.
