Colorado Maintenance Calculator
Maintenance is Colorado's word for alimony. The state sets an advisory guideline formula, and courts also weigh the specific circumstances of your case. This calculator applies the formula exactly as written, with every number test-verified against the statute.

Colorado sets an advisory guideline for spousal maintenance in C.R.S. 14-10-114. Enter three numbers and see the guideline amount and duration a court starts from. Your entries never leave this page unless you choose to email them.
Gross income before taxes. If either spouse already pays court ordered child support or maintenance from another case, subtract it first; the statute uses income after those obligations.

This tool applies the advisory guidelines in C.R.S. 14-10-114(3), current as of August 2026. The guideline is advisory, not mandatory: Colorado courts weigh the statutory factors and specific circumstances of your case, and decide what is fair, equitable and not unconscionable. While maintenance is often resolved by agreement, in many cases it can be complicated. We suggest seeking legal advice to help you understand your specific facts and how they might affect maintenance. This is general information, not legal advice, and using it does not create an attorney-client relationship.
