Child Support If You Make $2,000 a Week in Idaho
At $2,000 a week the combined incomes on this page stay below the Idaho high-income ceiling, so the marginal schedule computes a real number in every cell.

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 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 | $1,062.00 | $1,572.00 | $1,874.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $948.19 | $1,411.31 | $1,705.44 |
| $4,000 a month | $866.21 | $1,297.26 | $1,586.00 |
| $6,000 a month | $807.18 | $1,214.91 | $1,499.73 |
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 top income, still inside the schedule
Idaho Rule 120 publishes a high-income ceiling for its marginal schedule. Combined annual income up to that ceiling runs through the ordinary marginal bands; above it, the schedule amount through the ceiling acts as a floor, and additional support is discretionary. The ceiling is the relevant edge to name on this page.
At $2,000 a week the payer brings $8,666.67 a month, or $104,000 a year. Combined with the other-parent scenarios tested here, up to $6,000 a month, the combined annual total stays below the high-income ceiling, so every cell below is an exact marginal-schedule result rather than a floor figure.
Reading the table at the top of the series
Every row keeps the payer at $2,000 a week and varies the other-parent income from zero to $6,000 a month. The combined annual totals, from $104,000 up to about $176,000, all stay inside the marginal schedule range. The figures step with the marginal bands and the income share split, with no floor result and no ceiling intervening.
What this estimate includes
- The Rule 120 marginal bands for combined incomes around $104,000 to $176,000 a year
- The proportional share of the obligation assigned to the paying parent
- Confirmation that the high-income ceiling is not reached
What it leaves out
- The above-ceiling treatment a court could apply in a very high income case
- The below-$800 individualized review, not reached at this income
- Add-ons such as child care and health insurance
Worth knowing
The high-income treatment in Idaho is a floor, not a hard cap: the schedule amount through the ceiling is the minimum, and a court can award more based on need.
This page tests combined incomes up to about $176,000 a year. A combined figure beyond that would engage the ceiling behavior, which is why the full calculator is the right tool for very high earners.
Frequently asked questions
Does $2,000 a week reach the Idaho high-income ceiling?
No. The payer earns $104,000 a year, and even with the other parent at $6,000 a month the combined total stays below the high-income ceiling. Every cell is an exact marginal-schedule share.
What happens above the Idaho ceiling?
The schedule amount through the ceiling becomes a floor, and additional support is discretionary based on the child needs. The combined incomes tested here stay below that ceiling.
Why does the number change across the other-parent rows?
Each row changes the combined income, which selects different marginal band amounts and changes the payer share of the total. Both effects move the figure across the table.
Is the payer the majority earner at this income?
In this table, yes. The payer brings $8,666.67 a month, and the highest other-parent scenario is $6,000, so the payer share stays above half in every row.
Does the below-$800 rule matter at this income?
No. The payer is far above the $800 threshold, so the ordinary marginal schedule applies in every cell.
How is $104,000 a year derived?
$2,000 a week times 52 weeks equals $104,000 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.
