As snoted on the Law Guru website all questions directed to this lawfirm must be answered with reference to British Columbia.
Child support is calculated on gross and not net income; normally this is line 150 of the personal tax return. In BC the child support payable for one (1) child on a gross income of $35,000 per year is $326 per month plus a proportionate share of extraordinary expenses.
The amount varies with the number of children and by Province/Territory.
