Child Support If You Make $1,500 a Week in Idaho
Idaho applies a separate offset once a parent holds between 25 and 75 percent of parenting time. This page sole-custody baseline sits outside that band, and this page explains why that matters.

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 Idaho 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 | $902.00 | $1,337.00 | $1,574.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $804.47 | $1,190.65 | $1,417.76 |
| $4,000 a month | $717.48 | $1,067.24 | $1,288.24 |
| $6,000 a month | $654.16 | $979.16 | $1,196.00 |
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 shared-parenting band this page does not reach
Rule 120 applies a shared-parenting offset whenever a parent's share of annual parenting time falls strictly between 25 and 75 percent. Inside that band, the marginal schedule result is multiplied by a shared-custody factor before the proportional split; outside it, the standard schedule result applies unchanged.
This page assumes the paying parent holds no court-ordered overnights, well below the 25 percent threshold, so every figure in the table below is the standard schedule result with no shared-parenting multiplier applied. A parent who genuinely shares 25 to 75 percent of parenting time would see a different number from the offset alone, before any income changes.

How to read the table below
Every row uses the same $1,500-a-week gross pay for the paying parent, run on the standard schedule with no shared-parenting multiplier. If your real arrangement puts either parent between 25 and 75 percent of parenting time, the full calculator applies the offset this page does not.
What this estimate includes
- The Rule 120 marginal schedule for 1, 2, or 3 children
- The proportional share split of the combined obligation
- A disclosed sole-custody baseline outside the shared-parenting band
What it leaves out
- The shared-parenting offset multiplier, since this page's baseline sits outside its 25-75 percent band
- Tax-benefit credits and health-expense adjustments
- Add-ons such as child care and health insurance
Worth knowing
The 25-75 percent shared-parenting band is a real, specific threshold in the Idaho engine behind this site, not a rounded approximation; a parent at exactly 25 or 75 percent falls outside the offset under the strict-inequality rule implemented here.
This page and every other page in this series use the same 0-overnight sole-custody baseline, so none of the five income levels for Idaho in this series exercise the shared-parenting offset; only the full calculator does.
Frequently asked questions
Does a shared custody arrangement change this number?
Yes, if either parent's share of parenting time falls between 25 and 75 percent. Rule 120 multiplies the standard schedule result by a shared-custody factor in that band. This page assumes 0 payer overnights, below the band, so no multiplier applies to the figures shown.
Why does the shared-parenting band start at 25 percent, not 0?
Idaho's rule treats parenting time below 25 percent as functionally sole custody for this purpose and does not apply the offset until a parent crosses that threshold, roughly 91 overnights a year.
What happens exactly at 75 percent parenting time?
Above 75 percent, the parent holding that much time is functionally the primary custodial parent, and Idaho's roles effectively swap rather than continuing to apply the shared offset upward.
Does my actual overnight count change the result?
Yes, if it falls inside the 25 to 75 percent band. This page tests only the 0-overnight sole-custody baseline; the full calculator accepts a real overnight count and applies the shared offset when it qualifies.
Why does the number change with the other parent income?
Idaho combines both parents income, looks up the marginal schedule obligation for the combined total, then splits it in proportion to each parent share of that combined income.
What is the $78,000 annual figure?
$1,500 a week times 52 weeks equals $78,000 a year. Idaho applies its schedule on annual Guidelines Income, so this page converts the weekly figure.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Idaho child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Idaho 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 Idaho guideline.
