Maintenance amount is the monthly dollar figure ordered or agreed to for spousal maintenance. Under the Arizona Spousal Maintenance Guidelines the calculator produces a range for amount and duration and the court decides where within that range to set the amount.

Factors that can move the amount toward the high end include a long marriage, a large income gap, a lifestyle that significantly exceeds what the guidelines capture, age and limited employability of the receiving spouse.

Factors that can move the amount toward the low end include strong attributed earning capacity, separate property available to the receiving spouse, a short marriage, and a combined income level that triggers the high-income adjustment.
