Child Support If You Make $1,000 a Week in Kansas
The Kansas Appendix II schedule covers up to $18,000 a month in combined income, and $1,000 a week sits far enough inside it that every cell below computes.

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 Kansas 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 | $857.00 | $1,340.00 | $1,695.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $785.00 | $1,202.00 | $1,525.00 |
| $4,000 a month | $736.00 | $1,113.00 | $1,415.00 |
| $6,000 a month | $699.00 | $1,046.00 | $1,331.00 |
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.
Where this income sits in the schedule
The Kansas Appendix II schedule, part of the July 1, 2025 guidelines, lists basic obligations by combined parental income through $18,000 a month. At $1,000 a week the payer brings $4,333.33 a month, and even with the top other-parent scenario at $6,000 a month the combined figure stays around $10,333, comfortably inside the range.
That is why every cell in the table below computes a number. No combination on this page approaches the $18,000 top, so there is no high-income refusal and no above-schedule formula in play.
Reading a fully computed Kansas table
Every row and column below is a real schedule result at the fixed oldest-band assumption. The other parent income lowers the payer obligation as it rises, and the child count raises it, so the grid shows both forces at once.
The $18,000 schedule top matters only for combined incomes far beyond this page. Within the scenarios shown, the Appendix II lookup covers everything without a special high-income step.
What this estimate includes
- The Appendix II schedule lookup for every combination shown
- Confirmation that no cell approaches the $18,000 top
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- An above-schedule high-income formula, since none is triggered here
- Younger age bands with their lower weights
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The $18,000 top is worth knowing because some states in this series have lower schedule ceilings that refuse above a smaller combined income. Kansas schedule is broad enough that this page never reaches that edge.
Within the schedule range, the main sensitivity is the age-band assumption, not the income ceiling. Moving a child to a younger band would change the number far more than any small income change on this page.
Frequently asked questions
How high does the Kansas schedule go?
Appendix II runs through $18,000 a month in combined parental income. Every combination on this page stays well below that, so no cell reaches the end of the schedule.
Is $1,000 a week near the schedule top?
No. The payer income of $4,333.33 a month is less than a quarter of the way to the $18,000 top, and even the highest combined income on this page stays near $10,333.
Does the other parent income change the result at this income?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $857 to $699 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving similarly.
What happens above $18,000 a month in Kansas?
The guidelines provide for handling income beyond the schedule top, but no scenario on this page reaches that point, so the table below shows only standard Appendix II lookups.
Why does the child count matter so much here?
Kansas prices each child through its age-banded weights, and this page places every child in the highest band, so three children produce a substantially larger obligation than one at the same income.
Where can I see the full Appendix II schedule?
The Kansas guidelines linked in the sources publish the Appendix II schedule, and the full Kansas child support calculator on this site applies it with per-child ages.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Kansas child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Kansas 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 Kansas guideline.
