Child Support If You Make $1,500 a Week in Indiana
Indiana runs its whole worksheet in dollars per week, and at $1,500 a week the payer income sits inside the published schedule, which is what this page walks through.

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 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 | $1,040.00 | $1,560.00 | $1,950.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $901.33 | $1,352.00 | $1,690.00 |
| $4,000 a month | $826.24 | $1,239.33 | $1,550.51 |
| $6,000 a month | $775.15 | $1,162.72 | $1,453.40 |
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 weekly schedule behind the monthly number
Indiana is the one state in this page family whose worksheet runs entirely in weekly dollars. The Guideline Schedules for Weekly Support Payments list combined weekly adjusted income from $100 to $9,200 in $10 rows, with a column for each child count from one through eight. The guideline rounds the combined weekly income to the nearest published row and reads the amount for the number of children.
At $1,500 a week the payer weekly adjusted income is $1,500, which sits in the middle of that published range. The engine combines the two parents weekly incomes, selects the nearest row, reads the child-count amount, and assigns the paying parent a share. The monthly figure on this page is the weekly order times 52 divided by 12, an exact conversion rather than a separate calculation.
Reading the weekly lookup
Each row below combines the same $1,500-a-week payer income with a different other-parent income. The combined weekly figure selects the nearest schedule row, and the payer owes a share of that row amount in proportion to their income. Because the schedule steps in $10 rows, nearby combined incomes can land on the same row and produce the same amount.
What this estimate includes
- The weekly Guideline Schedules for one to three children
- The nearest-row rounding rule
- The monthly conversion of the weekly order
What it leaves out
- The parenting time credit, 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 $10 row step makes Indiana rounding more granular than a monthly schedule, and the nearest-row rule is the guideline own prescription rather than a choice this page makes.
Because the payer sits inside the ordinary schedule range, no above-ceiling marginal extension applies anywhere in this table, and the monthly figures are exact conversions.
Frequently asked questions
What range do the Indiana schedules cover?
The Guideline Schedules list combined weekly adjusted income from $100 to $9,200 in $10 rows, with columns for one through eight children. At $1,500 a week the payer sits inside that range.
How is the payer share computed?
Indiana reads the schedule amount for the combined weekly income and child count, then assigns each parent a share in proportion to income. The paying parent owes only their share, not the whole row amount.
Why does the number change with the other-parent income?
The combined weekly income changes with the other-parent income, which can move the nearest schedule row, and the payer share of that combined total also changes. Both effects shift the figure.
Is the monthly figure an estimate?
No. It is the weekly order multiplied by 52 and divided by 12, which is exact conversion. Indiana itself works in dollars per week, so the weekly number is the real order.
What happens above $9,200 a week combined?
The schedules add a marginal percentage of the combined income above $9,200 to the ceiling-row amount, with the percentage varying by child count. That extension is not reached on this page.
Does the payer owe the whole schedule amount?
No. The schedule amount is the combined obligation of both parents. Indiana assigns the paying parent a proportional share of that amount based on their income.
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.
