How much child maintenance should I get

ttmt

Hi
I have 3 children aged 4, 9 and 11, one girl and two boys.
I am separated but not yet divorce from their father.
Their father earns £1200 a month.
How much child maintenance should I be getting a month for all 3 children.
Online calculators say its 19% - £228.
Is that £228 per child.

No, its a percentage of the fathers wage so £228 in total for the 3 of them.

It's not a percentage of the fathers wage, it's a percentage of the non resident parents wage, but yes, £228 is the total.

However, this is the legal minimum amount, many parents pay more.

I think you are being picky, obviously its a percentage of the non resident parents wage. However the OP asked how much their father should pay.
