The AAML Formula Explained
Our AAML Alimony Calculator demystifies a common spousal support formula used in matrimonial law to provide a baseline for negotiations and legal discussions.
Input Financial Data
The calculation begins with the gross monthly income of both the payor and the recipient, along with the total length of the marriage in years.
Apply the AAML Formula
The tool calculates the difference between 30% of the payor's income and 20% of the recipient's income to determine a preliminary support amount.
Generate a Clear Analysis
The results provide an estimated monthly payment and duration, adjusted for statutory caps, along with a post-support financial overview.
Core Principles of the AAML Guideline
This calculator is built on foundational principles proposed by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) to promote predictability and fairness.
AAML Formula Foundation
Utilizes a recognized formula (30% of payor's gross - 20% of recipient's gross) to create a consistent and equitable starting point for spousal support calculations.
The 40% Guideline Cap
Includes a crucial statutory cap, ensuring that the recipient’s new total income (their earnings plus support) does not exceed 40% of the couple's combined gross income.
Marriage Duration Impact
Calculates an estimated duration for the alimony payments based on the length of the marriage, a key factor considered by courts across the country.
