Enter each spouse's gross annual income before taxes. The payor is the higher-earning spouse ordered to pay; the recipient is the lower-earning spouse receiving support.
Marriage length is the primary factor in determining both the amount and duration of spousal support. Longer marriages typically result in larger awards and longer payment periods.
The AAML (American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers) formula is widely referenced as a national guideline: 30% of payor's gross income minus 20% of recipient's gross income, capped so recipient's total income does not exceed 40% of combined income.
Most states award rehabilitative or durational alimony. Only 6 states still allow permanent alimony (FL, OR, CT, NJ, VT, WV, NC). Reimbursement alimony typically applies to marriages under 5 years.
Courts may deviate from formula results based on AAML deviation factors: age, health, standard of living during marriage, career sacrifices, and contributions to the other spouse's education or career.

Estimates use the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (AAML) alimony guideline (30% of payor's gross income minus 20% of recipient's gross income, capped at 40% of combined income), the Illinois statutory formula (750 ILCS 5/504), New York DRL § 236, and Florida Statute § 61.08 (2023 reform).
Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) of 2017, for all divorce or separation agreements executed on or after January 1, 2019: alimony payments are not tax-deductible for the payor and not taxable income for the recipient. These rules were confirmed permanently by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) of 2025.
Duration of support is influenced primarily by marriage length: short-term marriages (under 10 years) typically result in support equal to roughly half the marriage length; medium-term (10–20 years) may receive support for 30%–40% of marriage duration; marriages over 20 years may have extended or open-durational support in some states. Only six states (NJ, FL, OR, CT, VT, WV, NC) still permit permanent alimony.
Alimony is governed entirely by state family law; most states use a factor-based discretionary approach. Formula states (IL, NY, AZ, CO) provide the most predictable outcomes. Courts may consider earning capacity, standard of living, age, health, and career sacrifices when deviating from guideline amounts.
