Child Support If You Make $2,000 a Week in Arizona
This is the highest income in the Arizona series, which raises a fair question: is it high enough to run off the end of the schedule? It is not, and the table below stays comfortably inside the published range.

Guideline child support scenarios at $2000 a week
The paying parent earns $2000 a week ($8,666.67 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 Arizona 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 | $1,151.00 | $1,704.00 | $2,000.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $1,070.06 | $1,588.44 | $1,870.38 |
| $4,000 a month | $1,003.05 | $1,473.79 | $1,716.68 |
| $6,000 a month | $956.68 | $1,399.86 | $1,623.23 |
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 much schedule is left above this income
The Arizona schedule of basic support obligations stops at $30,000 of combined monthly income. Above that point the guideline no longer supplies a row, and a court handles the case as an above-guideline matter, weighing the reasonable needs of the children rather than reading a printed figure.
A paying parent earning $2,000 a week has $8,666.67 a month. Even paired with the largest other-parent scenario this page tests, $6,000 a month, the combined figure reaches only about $14,666.67. That is under half of the $30,000 ceiling, so all twelve cells are ordinary schedule lookups with no above-guideline treatment anywhere.
Reading the top of the series
Every row holds the paying parent at $2,000 a week and varies only the other parent income. Because none of those combinations approaches the schedule ceiling, the figures step according to the ordinary row lookup and the proportional split, with nothing unusual happening at the high end.
A household whose combined income does exceed $30,000 a month is in genuinely different territory. This page does not attempt to model that, because the guideline itself stops supplying a number there.
What this estimate includes
- An ordinary schedule row lookup for every combined total on this page
- Confirmation that the $30,000 ceiling is not reached in any cell
- A disclosed 0-day parenting-time baseline under primary custody
What it leaves out
- Above-guideline treatment for combined income beyond $30,000 a month
- The Parenting Time Table adjustment, which needs real days per year
- Add-ons such as health insurance or child care
Worth knowing
The $30,000 ceiling applies to combined monthly income, not to either parent income alone. A single high earner paired with a parent reporting nothing can still sit well inside the schedule, as several rows on this page do.
Nothing in this series tests the above-guideline range for Arizona, because even the highest weekly income here leaves a wide margin below the ceiling. A genuinely high-earning household needs the full calculator and, in most cases, a court own analysis.
Frequently asked questions
Does $2,000 a week reach the top of the Arizona schedule?
No, and not closely. The highest combined figure this page produces is about $14,666.67 a month, while the published schedule runs to $30,000, so every cell is a normal row lookup.
What happens above $30,000 of combined monthly income?
The schedule stops supplying a row. A court then treats the case as an above-guideline matter and sets support based on the reasonable needs of the children, which is a discretionary exercise rather than a table reading.
Is there a cap on the support amount itself?
Not in the way some states cap a guideline percentage. Arizona simply stops publishing schedule rows above a combined income of $30,000 and hands the question to judicial discretion at that point.
Why does the number still fall as the other parent earns more?
The combined income selects a larger basic obligation, but the paying parent share of that combined total shrinks. At these income levels the shrinking share outweighs the larger obligation.
Does the self-support reserve matter at this income?
No. The reserve protects a paying parent near the bottom of the income range, and at $8,666.67 a month this income is far above the 2026 reserve figure of $2,100.80.
Would real parenting time change these figures?
Yes. The table assumes 0 parenting-time days for the paying parent, so no adjustment is applied. A real day count would reduce the basic obligation before each parent share is calculated.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Arizona child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Arizona child support calculator. Nothing on this page is a separate estimate or a reimplementation of the math. See the sources below for the statutes and official worksheets behind the Arizona guideline.
