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 Missouri 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 | $786.00 | $1,135.00 | $1,333.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $644.53 | $925.05 | $1,081.05 |
| $4,000 a month | $541.84 | $772.72 | $896.48 |
| $6,000 a month | $495.68 | $706.19 | $818.16 |
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.
A dense schedule indexed by combined adjusted income
Form No. 14, effective January 1, 2026, organizes support around combined adjusted monthly income, with 581 rows covering the range through $30,000. The calculation combines both parents adjusted incomes, finds the basic obligation for the number of children, and then apportions it, before any overnight adjustment that applies.
At $1,000 a week, $4,333.33 a month gross, the payer figure sits well inside the schedule, and with the other-parent scenarios up to $6,000 a month the combined income stays covered in every row. The table below is the straight schedule result at the zero-overnight baseline.
Reading the schedule and the apportionment together
Every row below uses the same $1,000-a-week payer income, and the combined adjusted income changes as the other parent income rises. The result you see is the schedule obligation apportioned between the parents, with the payer share falling as the other parent earns more.
The zero-overnight baseline means no adjustment is layered on top, so the movement you see is purely the income-shares response on the 2026 schedule.
What this estimate includes
- The 581-row Form No. 14 schedule lookup for every combination shown
- The apportionment of the obligation between both parents
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- Any overnight adjustment, since the baseline holds at zero
- Extraordinary add-ons, which this baseline does not include
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The dense 581-row structure means the schedule rarely needs interpolation in practice, because a row exists for almost any combined income below $30,000.
Reading across the other-parent rows shows the apportionment at work: as the other parent income rises, the payer share of a growing combined obligation changes in a way that is not a simple straight line.
Frequently asked questions
What is combined adjusted monthly income?
It is the monthly figure the 2026 Form No. 14 schedule is indexed on, combining both parents adjusted incomes after the deductions the form specifies. The schedule lookup uses that combined figure and the number of children.
How many rows does the schedule have?
Form No. 14 has 581 rows running through $30,000 a month, which is a dense enough range that this income and the scenarios on this page are all covered.
Does the other parent income change the result at $1,000 a week?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $786 to $495.68 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, because the apportionment shifts with the combined income.
Is the apportionment a separate step?
Yes. The schedule gives the basic obligation for the combined income and child count, and the parents then share it in proportion to their adjusted incomes. That is the income-shares mechanism.
Why is the overnight baseline zero?
This page family expresses sole custody as zero overnights, the common paying-parent case. Any overnight count would trigger the 2026 adjustment and change the result.
Where can I see the 581-row schedule?
The 2026 Form No. 14 schedule is linked in the sources for this page, and the full Missouri child support calculator on this site applies it with both parents incomes.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Missouri child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Missouri 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 Missouri guideline.
