Child Maintenance

Advice please on child maintenance.
A regular payment has been set up by my ex to help with the costs of the children.
I just want to know if my wages get taken into account as the calculator seems to just enable you to add my ex's wages.
I'm on £17,250 and he's on £85,000 a year plus a military pension of £1400 a month. This obviously puts him in the higher bracket for tax but should the calculations be before tax?

No. Your income is not counted.
His gross income is used not income after tax.0
