Child support in Anchorage: how it is calculated
Child support in Anchorage is set by Alaska's statewide guidelines — Anchorage Municipality courts apply the same table as every other county. Here is the calculation, with the statute it comes from.
Where a Anchorage case goes
A Anchorage case is filed in the Alaska court for Anchorage Municipality, which applies the state guideline below. Local practice affects timing and paperwork, not the guideline amount. Anchorage has about 289,600 residents (Census Bureau, 2024 estimate).

Does Anchorage have its own rule?
No. Alaska Civil Rule 90.3 applies across Alaska, so a case from Anchorage is decided by the same numbers as one filed anywhere else in the state. What changes locally is the courthouse, the clerk's procedure and how long the docket takes — not the amount.
What the statute says
Alaska Civil Rule 90.3 — Alaska child support (Civil Rule 90.3, primary custody). Rule 90.3 applies 20% for one child, 27% for two, 33% for three, plus 3% for each additional child, to adjusted annual income — capped at $138,000 a year ($11,500/month). This is the primary-custody formula; shared custody (each parent 30%+ of overnights) uses a different calculation.
