This calculator helps Texas employees who receive commission payments determine their take-home pay after mandatory child support deductions. It calculates gross commission, applies the child support deduction, and shows the final net payment.
The calculator uses the following formula:
Where:
Explanation: The calculator first determines gross commission by applying the percentage rate to sales, then subtracts any court-ordered child support payments.
Details: In Texas, child support deductions are typically withheld directly from wages, including commission payments. The amount is determined by court order and may include current support plus any arrears.
Tips: Enter your total sales amount, commission rate percentage, and the exact child support deduction amount from your court order. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: How are commission payments treated for child support in Texas?
A: Commission income is considered wages and subject to the same withholding rules as regular salary in Texas.
Q2: What if my commission varies each pay period?
A: Child support is typically withheld as a fixed amount, so your net pay will vary with your commission earnings.
Q3: Can child support take my entire commission check?
A: Texas law limits withholding to 50% of disposable earnings if supporting another family, or 60% if not.
Q4: Are there other deductions not included here?
A: Yes, this calculator only accounts for child support. Taxes, benefits, and other deductions would further reduce net pay.
Q5: What if my employer makes a mistake in withholding?
A: Contact your employer's payroll department and/or the Texas Attorney General's Child Support Division for assistance.
