Guideline child support scenarios at $1000 a week
The paying parent earns $1000 a week ($4,333.33 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 Indiana 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 | $780.00 | $1,170.00 | $1,464.67 |
| $2,000 a month | $702.69 | $1,055.51 | $1,316.42 |
| $4,000 a month | $608.40 | $912.60 | $1,140.19 |
| $6,000 a month | $552.41 | $828.66 | $1,035.80 |
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 parenting time credit, separate from the schedule
The Guideline 6 parenting time credit is Indiana own adjustment, separate from the weekly schedule lookup. It uses a table of overnight bands, each with a Total and a Duplicated expense factor, and computes a credit from the weekly obligation and the paying parent income share. The credit only runs when court-ordered or approved overnights are supplied.
The scenario tables on this page family run on a no-order baseline, meaning no overnights are entered, so the credit is not exercised in the table below. Every figure is the base weekly schedule share before any parenting-time credit. A parent with a real overnight count would see a different result on the full calculator.
Reading the base numbers with the credit in mind
Every row below is the base weekly schedule share with no parenting-time credit. The credit would only change these figures if overnights were supplied, which this page does not do. This keeps the schedule lookup and the credit separate and honest: the table shows the base result, and the full calculator applies the credit when a real schedule exists.
What this estimate includes
- The weekly Guideline Schedules lookup for 1, 2, or 3 children
- The proportional share of the weekly obligation assigned to the paying parent
- A clear statement that the parenting time credit is not exercised here
What it leaves out
- The parenting time credit itself, which needs court-ordered overnights
- Prior-born child deductions, which need those facts supplied
- Add-ons such as child care and health insurance
Worth knowing
The parenting time credit is the most distinctive Indiana adjustment, and this page highlights it because it is separate from the weekly schedule structure.
This page describes the credit without applying it, which is the honest treatment for a scenario table that does not supply overnights.
Frequently asked questions
What does the Indiana parenting time credit do?
It reduces the weekly obligation based on the paying parent overnights, using a table of overnight bands with Total and Duplicated expense factors. It is a separate adjustment from the schedule lookup.
Why is the credit not in the table below?
The credit requires court-ordered or approved overnights, which this page family does not supply. With no overnights entered, the base weekly schedule share applies.
Would the numbers change with a real overnight count?
Yes. With overnights supplied, the credit would reduce the paying parent obligation, and in a high-overnight case the order could even reverse direction. The full Indiana calculator runs that step.
How do the overnight bands work?
The credit table assigns each overnight range a Total and a Duplicated factor, and the credit is computed from those factors and the paying parent income share. More overnights generally mean a larger credit.
Is the schedule lookup still the starting point?
Yes. The weekly schedule sets the base obligation for the combined income and child count, and the parenting time credit is applied on top of that base.
What is the $4,333.33 monthly figure?
$1,000 a week times 52 weeks divided by 12 months equals $4,333.33 a month. This page reports the weekly figure as Indiana works, alongside the monthly equivalent for comparison.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Indiana child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Indiana 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 Indiana guideline.
