Child Support If You Make $750 a Week in Arkansas
The Arkansas chart works like a lookup table keyed to combined monthly gross income, and at $750 a week every cell in the table below sits inside its published range.

Guideline child support scenarios at $750 a week
The paying parent earns $750 a week ($3,250.00 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 Arkansas 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 | $505.00 | $742.00 | $896.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $475.00 | $697.00 | $843.00 |
| $4,000 a month | $411.00 | $586.00 | $702.00 |
| $6,000 a month | $364.00 | $514.00 | $613.00 |
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.
How the chart lookup works
The Family Support Chart under Administrative Order No. 10 is a table of monthly combined gross income amounts, each row giving a base obligation for one through six children. Arkansas finds the row that matches the combined income of both parents, reads the child-count column, and then assigns each parent a share of that base amount in proportion to their income.
At $750 a week the paying parent brings $3,250 a month to the combined total. With the other parent reporting no income, the chart reads the $3,250 row directly; with the other parent adding $2,000 to $6,000 a month, the combined figure climbs and the chart returns a different base amount for a larger total.
Reading the table with the chart in mind
Each row below combines the same $750-a-week payer income with a different other-parent income. The resulting combined total selects the chart row, and the child-count column selects the base obligation. The number you see is the paying parent share of that base, so the column-to-column and row-to-row movement both come from the same lookup and split.
What this estimate includes
- The Family Support Chart lookup for combined incomes at or near $3,250 a month
- The child-count columns for 1, 2, or 3 children
- The proportional assignment of the chart base to each parent
What it leaves out
- The low-income minimum branch, which requires the payer to fall below the threshold
- Add-ons such as child care and health insurance
- A discretionary shared-custody adjustment, which requires 141 or more overnights
Worth knowing
The chart is a lookup table, not a formula, so the same combined income always returns the same base amount for the same child count. The engine on this site carries the published rows.
Arkansas rounds the paying parent share down from the proportional calculation, a detail of the order that shows up in the exact figures the engine returns.
Frequently asked questions
How does Arkansas pick a chart row?
It adds both parents monthly gross incomes to get a combined figure, then finds the chart row that matches that combined amount. The row provides a base obligation for the number of children in the case.
Why does the number grow with the other parent income at $750 a week?
A larger combined income selects a higher chart row, which raises the base obligation. The paying parent also owes a smaller share of that larger base, and the two effects combine into the figure shown.
What does the child-count column do?
Each chart row has one amount per number of children, from one through six. Reading a different column changes the base obligation for the same combined income, which is why the three columns in the table differ.
Is the paying parent share the full chart amount?
No. The chart amount is the combined obligation of both parents. The paying parent owes their proportional share based on their income, not the entire row figure.
Does the low-income minimum matter at this income?
No. The low-income minimum applies when the paying parent income falls below the self-support threshold, and $3,250 a month is well above it.
Where does the chart come from?
The current chart is the Monthly Family Support Chart required under Administrative Order No. 10, which the Arkansas engine on this site reads directly.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Arkansas child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Arkansas child support calculator.
