Child Support If You Make $750 a Week in Idaho
Idaho applies a marginal rate to each band of combined annual income, and at $750 a week the payer income reaches deep enough into those bands to make the structure visible.

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 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 | $522.00 | $782.00 | $912.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $477.90 | $712.52 | $836.33 |
| $4,000 a month | $434.83 | $642.83 | $759.38 |
| $6,000 a month | $385.08 | $570.59 | $682.68 |
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 marginal bands add up
Idaho Rule 120 uses a marginal schedule, not a single flat percentage. It divides annual combined Guidelines Income into eleven bands, applies a rate to the income inside each band, and sums the results. The rate only applies to the portion of income within each band, so the total obligation is the sum across all the bands the combined income reaches.
At $750 a week the payer brings $3,250 a month, or $39,000 a year. Combined with the other-parent scenarios on this page, the annual total climbs through several bands, and each additional band adds its own marginal amount. That is why the numbers step the way they do across the table.
Reading the table with the bands in mind
Each row combines the same $750-a-week payer income with a different other-parent income, and the combined annual figure determines which bands apply. The child-count column picks the rate for that number of children within each band. The marginal structure is why the obligation does not rise as a flat percentage of income.
What this estimate includes
- The Rule 120 marginal bands for combined annual income
- The child-count rates applied within each band
- The proportional share of the obligation assigned to the paying parent
What it leaves out
- The below-$800 individualized review, not reached at this income
- Tax-benefit credits and health-expense adjustments
- Add-ons such as child care and transportation
Worth knowing
The marginal band structure is the defining mechanic of Idaho Rule 120, distinct from states that use a single combined lookup table.
At $39,000 a year the payer alone reaches into the middle bands, so this page demonstrates the marginal structure on its own income before the other-parent income is added.
Frequently asked questions
What is a marginal schedule?
It divides income into bands and applies a separate rate to each band, so the rate only applies to the income within that band. The obligation is the sum of the band amounts, not a single percentage of the whole income.
Why does the obligation not grow as a flat percentage?
Because the schedule is marginal. Income in the lower bands is taxed at the lower rate, and only the income that reaches the higher bands is taxed at the higher rate. The result rises more slowly than a flat-rate calculation.
How many bands does Idaho use?
Rule 120 divides annual combined Guidelines Income into eleven bands, each with its own published rate for the number of children in the case.
Why does the number change with the other-parent income?
A higher combined income reaches further into the marginal bands, and the payer share of that combined total also changes. Both effects move the payer figure across the rows.
Does the below-$800 rule apply at this income?
No. The payer earns $3,250 a month, well above the $800 threshold, so the ordinary marginal schedule applies in every cell.
What is the $39,000 annual figure?
$750 a week times 52 weeks equals $39,000 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.
