Child Support If You Make $750 a Week in the District of Columbia
At $750 a week the payer clears the DC self-support reserve comfortably, so the table below runs the ordinary Appendix I schedule lookup in every cell.

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 District of Columbia 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 | $636.92 | $900.00 | $1,051.42 |
| $2,000 a month | $570.61 | $783.71 | $891.07 |
| $4,000 a month | $532.44 | $723.70 | $818.89 |
| $6,000 a month | $510.84 | $690.52 | $776.08 |
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 Appendix I lookup rounds income
The District schedule, Appendix I, is a table of annual combined adjusted gross incomes with an obligation amount for each child count. DC reads the published row that is at or above the combined income rather than interpolating between rows, so the result is the schedule row the combined figure rounds up to.
At $750 a week the payer brings $3,250 a month, or $39,000 a year, which is well above the self-support reserve. With the other parent adding $2,000 to $6,000 a month, the combined annual figure climbs and each row selects the next published schedule amount, which is why the numbers step upward across the table.
Reading the table with rounding in mind
Each row combines the same $750-a-week payer income with a different other-parent income. The combined annual figure selects a published Appendix I row, and the child-count column picks the amount for that row. Because DC rounds up to the next row, small changes in combined income do not always move the number, and the table shows that stepping behavior directly.
What this estimate includes
- The Appendix I schedule for combined incomes around $39,000 to $111,000 a year
- The child-count columns for 1, 2, or 3 children
- The proportional share of the schedule amount assigned to the paying parent
What it leaves out
- The self-support ability cap, which does not bind at this income
- The shared-custody adjustment, which needs a court-ordered time split
- Add-ons such as child care and health insurance
Worth knowing
The rounding rule means the same schedule amount can cover a range of combined incomes. This is a real feature of Appendix I, not an approximation by this page.
At $39,000 a year the payer is above the reserve but still in the lower part of the schedule, so the figures in the table are ordinary schedule shares with no cap applied.
Frequently asked questions
How does DC pick a schedule row?
It takes the annual combined adjusted gross income of both parents and reads the first Appendix I row at or above that figure. The result is the published amount for that row, not an interpolated value between rows.
Why do some rows in the table produce the same number?
When two different combined incomes round up to the same Appendix I row, the schedule amount is identical. The rounding rule makes the table step rather than change smoothly.
Does the payer owe the whole schedule amount?
No. The Appendix I figure is the combined obligation. DC assigns each parent a share in proportion to income, and the paying parent owes only their share, before the final limits.
Does the self-support cap matter at $750 a week?
No. The payer earns $39,000 a year, which clears the self-support reserve comfortably, so the ordinary schedule share applies in every cell without the ability cap binding.
Is the shared-custody adjustment in this table?
No. That adjustment is a separate step that requires a court-ordered time split. This page uses a no-order baseline, so only the base Appendix I lookup and limits apply.
What is the $39,000 annual figure?
$750 a week times 52 weeks equals $39,000 a year. DC works on annual adjusted gross income, so this page converts the weekly income to its annual equivalent for the schedule lookup.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real District of Columbia child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full District of Columbia 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 District of Columbia guideline.
