I don't know which calculator is best, as I am sure there are many out there to use. Just Google child support calculator and your state and you will be sure to find a few.
I just wanted to comment about on-line calculators in general by saying that in my own past experience the amounts tended to be bloated somewhat.
Depending on what side of the fence you are on, that could be a good or a bad thing.
Payees going by a calculator might see a big "wind fall" in the making and disappointed in the end result, while payors are usually "stunned" by the projected amounts and then relieved when it doesn't end up that high.
I would say they are roughly accurate, but support usually ends up lower once you get an order in place. Anytime I had a modification I would later run the exact same numbers that the courts used and it never matched up, with me paying about $100 less than even what my own atty projected.
Also be cautious of input from others who say the "norm" is always one half or greater of the payees gross pay. I know a lot of people initially expect to get that much, and some payors claim to pay it, but it's far from the norm.
actually there is an order for support in place but due to mistakes made the man in question is paying more than he should. They included 100% o/t while not including any of the mothers o/t(father doesn't get that overtime now), they took off for Mom's other child but not for dad's other child, and there was something else but i can't remember what it was. BCSE is going to recalculate and I'm trying to guess at what it will be. Usually it takes 3 month for them to recalculate here. I know the other child of the father's won't make much difference because because he is a second born child and no support order is in place they just agree on an amount and he pays it. The income issue should make a bigger difference.
This is one of the better ones:
