Child Support If You Make $750 a Week in Mississippi
Mississippi now treats equal-time cases differently under 2026 law, and this page fixes a primary arrangement, so that treatment is the one thing to know before reading the table.

Guideline child support scenarios at $750 a week
The paying parent earns $750 a week ($3,250.00 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 Mississippi 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 | $455.00 | $650.00 | $715.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $455.00 | $650.00 | $715.00 |
| $4,000 a month | $455.00 | $650.00 | $715.00 |
| $6,000 a month | $455.00 | $650.00 | $715.00 |
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.
Primary arrangement, and what the equal-time law changed
Mississippi base support is a flat percentage of the paying parent adjusted gross income, with the percentage set by child count. The baseline this page family uses is a primary arrangement, where the children reside primarily with the recipient, which is the common paying-parent case.
Under 2026 H.B. 1662, equal-time cases now offset both parents awards against each other rather than applying the payer-only percentage directly. That offset is a real change, but it does not apply at the primary baseline, so the table below shows the straight percentage math.
Reading the percentage math at the primary baseline
Every cell below is the flat percentage of the payer adjusted gross income at the primary baseline. At $750 a week, one child is $455, two children $650, and three children $715, and the amounts are identical in every other-parent row.
A genuinely equal-time case would run the H.B. 1662 offset instead, which compares both parents awards and can change the result. That is not this page.
What this estimate includes
- The flat percentage applied at the primary-arrangement baseline
- A clear statement that the equal-time offset is not exercised
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent rows
What it leaves out
- The equal-time offset under H.B. 1662
- Any effect from the other parent income, since the formula does not use it
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The distinction between primary and equal time is more than academic in Mississippi now that H.B. 1662 changed the equal-time path. A parent who shares time equally should not use the primary-baseline figure as their own.
The flat rows are the signature of the payer-only percentage. Readers used to income-shares states will see the difference immediately in the table.
Frequently asked questions
What is the primary-arrangement baseline?
It assumes the children reside primarily with the recipient parent. Mississippi base support then applies the flat percentage to the paying parent adjusted gross income, without the equal-time offset.
What did 2026 H.B. 1662 change?
It changed how equal-time cases are handled, offsetting both parents awards against each other instead of applying the payer-only percentage. That offset applies only to genuinely equal-time cases.
Why are all the rows the same at $750 a week?
Because the flat percentage uses only the paying parent income. One child is $455, two children $650, and three children $715 at $3,250 a month, and the other parent income never enters the formula.
How are the figures calculated?
Fourteen percent of $3,250 is $455 for one child, 20 percent is $650 for two, and 22 percent is $715 for three. Those are the exact percentages under § 43-19-101.
Would an equal-time case look different?
Yes. Under H.B. 1662 the two awards would be offset against each other, which is a different calculation from the flat percentage shown on this page.
Where can I run the equal-time calculation?
The full Mississippi child support calculator on this site accepts the arrangement, and the 2026 H.B. 1662 materials linked in the sources describe the offset.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Mississippi child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Mississippi 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 Mississippi guideline.
