Child Support If You Make $2,000 a Week in Kansas
At $2,000 a week, combined with the top other-parent scenario, the income approaches the $18,000 Kansas ceiling but stays under it, so every cell below is a real number.

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 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 | $1,467.00 | $2,214.00 | $2,814.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $1,397.00 | $2,085.00 | $2,656.00 |
| $4,000 a month | $1,339.00 | $1,982.00 | $2,528.00 |
| $6,000 a month | $1,294.00 | $1,901.00 | $2,427.00 |
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.
Just inside the top of the schedule
Kansas Appendix II schedule ends at $18,000 a month in combined parental income. At $2,000 a week the payer brings $8,666.67 a month, and with the highest other-parent scenario at $6,000 a month the combined figure reaches about $14,667, still below the ceiling.
That is why the table below computes in every cell. No combination on this page crosses the $18,000 line, so there is no above-schedule handling and no refusal. The result is a full grid of standard Appendix II lookups at the fixed oldest-band assumption.
Reading the full grid near the top of the range
Every cell below is a standard schedule result, so the table is directly comparable across all four other-parent rows and all three child counts. The payer income is fixed down each column, and the movement comes from the other parent income and the number of children.
The $18,000 ceiling is close enough at this income to be worth naming, but it is not crossed by any scenario on this page. A reader with a much higher other-parent income could approach it, which is a case for the full calculator.
What this estimate includes
- Standard Appendix II lookups for every combination shown
- Confirmation that the combined income stays under the $18,000 top
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- Above-schedule handling for income past $18,000, not reached here
- Younger age bands with their lower weights
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
This page is a useful boundary case because it is the highest weekly income in the series and still lands inside the schedule. The margin to the $18,000 top is about $3,333 at the largest combination shown.
Readers comparing states at $2,000 a week will find Kansas among those that compute a full grid, with the age-band assumption rather than income being the main sensitivity.
Frequently asked questions
Does Kansas high-income treatment apply at $2,000 a week?
No. The combined income on this page tops out around $14,667 a month, below the $18,000 Appendix II ceiling, so every cell is a standard schedule lookup with no above-schedule step.
How close does this page get to the ceiling?
The closest scenario combines the payer $8,666.67 a month with the $6,000 a month other parent for about $14,667 a month, roughly $3,333 below the $18,000 top.
What happens if combined income passes $18,000?
The guidelines provide for handling income above the schedule top, but no scenario on this page reaches that point, so the table shows only standard lookups.
Does the other parent income still matter at this income?
Yes. For three children the obligation falls from $2,814 to $2,427 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, a real movement within the schedule.
Is the age-band assumption still the highest one?
Yes. Every child remains in the 12-18 band, so the child-count columns use the largest per-child weights before any other factor is considered.
Where can I check combined income near the ceiling?
The full Kansas child support calculator on this site handles larger combined incomes, and the Kansas guidelines linked in the sources publish the Appendix II schedule through $18,000.
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.
