Guideline child support scenarios at $1500 a week
The paying parent earns $1500 a week ($6,500.00 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 | $1,300.00 | $1,755.00 | $2,145.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $1,300.00 | $1,755.00 | $2,145.00 |
| $4,000 a month | $1,300.00 | $1,755.00 | $2,145.00 |
| $6,000 a month | $1,300.00 | $1,755.00 | $2,145.00 |
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 child-count spread in view
Alaska Civil Rule 90.3 percentages step up with the number of children: 20 percent for one, 27 percent for two, and 33 percent for three, with 3 points added for each additional child beyond that. The step between one and two children is the largest single increase, 7 points.
At $1,500 a week, $6,500 a month, the spread is $1,300 for one child, $1,755 for two, and $2,145 for three, with flat rows because the rule reads only the payer income.
Reading the spread across the columns
Every row below uses the same $1,500-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 child-count spread is the visible feature.
The largest single step is from one to two children, 20 to 27 percent, which is why the gap between those columns is wider than the gap between two and three.
What this estimate includes
- The 20, 27, and 33 percent spread by child count
- The flat payer-only rows across the other-parent scenarios
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children at $1,500 a week
What it leaves out
- The 3-points-per-additional-child step beyond three children
- The shared and divided custody schedules
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The child-count spread is the most actionable number on this page, because it answers the exact question in the title: how the amount changes with the number of children.
At $6,500 a month the figures are exact percentages of the adjusted base, which makes the structure easy to verify by hand.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the two-child figure $1,755?
Two children is 27 percent of the $6,500 a month adjusted income, which comes to $1,755. The one and three-child figures use 20 and 33 percent on the same base.
Which step in the Alaska structure is the largest?
The jump from one to two children, 20 to 27 percent, is the largest single increase. The step from two to three children is 6 points.
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.
How do additional children beyond three work?
Each child beyond three adds 3 points to the percentage, so a four-child case uses 36 percent and so on under the rule.
Is the low-income adjustment in effect at this income?
No. At $6,500 a month the payer is well above the range where the adjustment applies, so the base percentages show up cleanly.
Where can I run a four or five-child case?
The full Alaska child support calculator on this site accepts any child count, and Civil Rule 90.3 linked in the sources lists the full structure.
