Why I am getting this for child maintenance??!

I get 620 a month from ex. He is on 112k. When i put it into the calculator it comes up higher. He is in nhs so I thought his pension would be 14%? I’ve deducted that and it still should be higher than 620.

He refuses to speak so I feel I either let it go or go to CM directly… unless I’m missing something?

Two kids to different mothers.. on a salary of £112k works out at exactly what you say you are receiving , so what he’s paying is correct (see pic where I input into the calculator - I just made up the kids names of course!)

It could be a lot worse OP. A lot of mums get £5 pw. Or nothing at all.

Not really the point is it?

The figure you get on the calculator is the total that he owes. If he has 2 kids and has them an equal number of days then he'll be paying £620 to each mother.

If he has a third child and his wages remain the same then each mum would get a third of £1240

If its CMS calculating I'd assume there was another child.
