About This Tool
An educational resource for individuals navigating divorce in the United States.
Our Mission
AmericanDivorceCalculator.com was built to help people navigating divorce in the United States make sense of one of the most stressful financial decisions of their lives. Divorce settlements are complex — driven by state law, marriage length, income gaps, and dozens of other factors — and most people enter the process with no idea what to expect.
Our calculator gives you a free, private, state-specific estimate so you can walk into your attorney consultation prepared. We do not collect your data, sell your information, or refer you to any law firm.
What This Tool Is
This is a free educational calculator that estimates your potential divorce settlement based on simplified versions of state-specific rules. It uses publicly available information about community property states, equitable distribution states, and common alimony formulas to generate a likely range.

- ✅ Free to use with no personal information required
- ✅ Educational and informational only
- ✅ Based on publicly available state law and divorce data
- ✅ Designed to help you prepare for attorney consultations
This tool is NOT:
- ❌ Legal advice
