It depends on how many children you are supporting - the law does not care what your monthly expenses are. Only certain expenses - such as health insurance, are appropriate deductions in the calculation. The law says you pay 20% of your net for 1; 28% for 2, 32% for 3 etc.

If your net income is 3600 and you have one child, it would be $720, regardless of your other expenses.
