How the settlement estimator works

You enter the combined value of the asset pool, the length of the relationship, the share of financial contributions made by one party (Party A), the level of that party's non-financial contributions, and any future-needs factors that apply, such as an age difference, health issues, caring for children or lower earning capacity.

The tool starts from the financial contribution share, adjusts it for non-financial contributions, moves it closer to an equal split for longer relationships, then adds an adjustment for each future-needs factor you ticked. It shows the result as a percentage range for Party A, applied to the asset pool you entered.

What the estimate cannot tell you

This is a simplified model. It assumes the future-needs factors favour Party A, uses fixed adjustments and keeps the result within a set band. It does not decide what property is in the pool, how superannuation is treated, or what a court would consider just and equitable in your case.

When to get advice

Get advice before you negotiate or sign anything, and especially if the pool includes a business, trust or significant superannuation, or if contributions are disputed.

Common questions

Who is Party A?

Party A is the person whose financial contribution share you enter with the slider. The future-needs factors are treated as applying to Party A.

Why does a longer relationship move the result towards 50/50?

The tool blends the contribution-based figure with an equal split, giving the equal split more weight as the relationship gets longer.

Can I rely on the estimate in negotiations?

No. It is a general guide only. Use it to understand the factors involved and get advice before you negotiate.
