Child Support If You Make $750 a Week in Arizona
This is the income level where the Arizona table starts behaving normally. One step down the series every cell was the same capped figure; here each cell responds to both the number of children and what the other parent earns.

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 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 | $618.00 | $942.00 | $1,138.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $559.00 | $843.14 | $1,009.67 |
| $4,000 a month | $468.00 | $700.66 | $832.45 |
| $6,000 a month | $426.89 | $629.97 | $737.49 |
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 income level where the reserve releases
Arizona protects part of the paying parent income through the Section VIII self-support reserve, which for 2026 is $2,100.80 a month. When gross income sits just above that line, the reserve caps the order at whatever small amount is left over and the schedule never gets to speak. That is exactly what happens on the $500-a-week page in this series.
At $750 a week the paying parent has $3,250.00 a month of gross income, leaving about $1,149.20 above the reserve. That headroom is larger than the schedule share in every scenario tested here, so the reserve no longer binds and each of the twelve cells shows a genuine income-shares result instead.
What the table shows at this income
Each row raises the other parent monthly income and each column adds a child, and both movements now change the figure. That responsiveness is the practical sign that the schedule, rather than the reserve ceiling, is producing the answer.
Arizona computes a result even in the row where the other parent reports no income, because the guideline works directly from gross figures and does not need a separate conversion table to place a parent on the schedule.
What this estimate includes
- The income-shares schedule lookup for combined gross income
- The paying parent proportional share of the basic obligation
- A confirmation that the self-support reserve does not cap these cells
What it leaves out
- The reserve ceiling that controls the $500-a-week page in this series
- The Parenting Time Table adjustment, which needs real days per year
- Add-ons such as health insurance or child care
Worth knowing
The exact income at which the reserve stops binding depends on the number of children and the other parent income, so there is no single crossover figure. This page shows that by $750 a week the crossover has already happened in all twelve scenarios tested.
The reserve moves with the Arizona minimum wage. A future change to that wage would shift the $2,100.80 line and could change which income levels in this series are capped.
Frequently asked questions
Why do the numbers vary here when they were identical at $500 a week?
At $500 a week the self-support reserve capped every cell at the same leftover amount. At $750 a week there is enough income above the reserve that the schedule result comes in below the cap, so the schedule controls and the figures differ cell by cell.
Does the reserve still apply at this income?
It is still tested, but it does not bind. The engine checks whether the schedule result exceeds what the reserve leaves available, and at $3,250 a month it does not, so the schedule figure stands.
Why does a higher other-parent income lower the amount?
Arizona is an income-shares state. Both incomes combine to select the basic obligation, then each parent takes a share in proportion to their part of that combined total. A larger other-parent income shrinks the paying parent proportional share.
Why does the no-income row still produce a number?
The guideline reads gross income directly, so a parent reporting nothing simply contributes zero to the combined figure. No conversion step is needed, which is why Arizona has no unavailable cells at this income.
Would real parenting time change these figures?
Yes. This page fixes the paying parent at 0 days, the guideline first band. Entering an actual day count on the full calculator applies the Parenting Time Table adjustment and reduces the basic obligation accordingly.
How is the $3,250.00 monthly figure derived?
$750 a week times 52 weeks divided by 12 months equals $3,250.00 a month. That monthly gross figure is what this page feeds to the Arizona engine.
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.
