Guideline child support scenarios at $1000 a week
The paying parent earns $1000 a week ($4,333.33 a month) in every cell below. The other parent's monthly income changes across rows, and the number of children changes across columns; both genuinely change the result.Every figure is computed with the real Alaska guideline engine, the same one behind the full calculator, not a lookup table built for this page.
| Other parent's income | 1 child | 2 children | 3 children |
|---|---|---|---|
| No reported income | $866.67 | $1,170.00 | $1,430.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $866.67 | $1,170.00 | $1,430.00 |
| $4,000 a month | $866.67 | $1,170.00 | $1,430.00 |
| $6,000 a month | $866.67 | $1,170.00 | $1,430.00 |
Every dollar figure is a monthly amount, the presumptive guideline result before add-ons like child care or health insurance and before any court deviation. "Not available" means the engine behind this site declined to compute that specific combination rather than guess; the reason is shown next to it.
The percentage-plus-points structure in view
Alaska Civil Rule 90.3 sets support as a percentage of the paying parent adjusted income, with 20 percent for one child, 27 percent for two, and 33 percent for three, and it adds 3 points for each additional child beyond that. The structure is a direct percentage applied to the adjusted figure.
At $1,000 a week, $4,333.33 a month, the percentages produce exact figures: $866.67 for one child, $1,170 for two, and $1,430 for three, with flat rows because the rule reads only the payer income.
Reading the percentages off the adjusted base
Every row below uses the same $1,000-a-week payer income, and the amounts are flat across the other-parent rows because the Civil Rule 90.3 percentage reads only the payer income. The low-income adjustment is no longer in effect at this income, so the base percentages show up cleanly.
The zero-deduction baseline means the adjusted income equals the gross equivalent on this page.
What this estimate includes
- The 20, 27, and 33 percent structure by child count
- The 3-points-per-additional-child rule for larger families
- Results across four other-parent rows for comparison
What it leaves out
- The shared and divided custody schedules
- The low-income adjustment, which applies only at lower incomes
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The percentage-plus-points structure is the entire Alaska formula, so the column values are the most direct way to verify the math on this page.
At $4,333.33 a month the figures are exact percentages of the adjusted base, which makes the structure easy to check by hand.
Frequently asked questions
How does the Alaska percentage structure work?
Civil Rule 90.3 applies 20 percent of adjusted income for one child, 27 percent for two, and 33 percent for three, adding 3 points for each additional child beyond that.
Why is the one-child figure exactly $866.67?
One child is 20 percent of the $4,333.33 a month adjusted income, which comes to exactly $866.67. The two and three-child figures use 27 and 33 percent on the same base.
Why is every other-parent row the same at this income?
The Civil Rule 90.3 percentage reads only the paying parent adjusted income, so the other parent income never changes the result.
Is the low-income adjustment still in effect?
No. At $4,333.33 a month the payer is above the range where the adjustment applies, so the base percentages show up cleanly.
How do additional children work?
Each child beyond three adds 3 points to the percentage, so the structure extends for larger families under the rule.
