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 North Carolina 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 | $1,191.67 | $1,780.00 | $2,109.67 |
| $2,000 a month | $1,106.63 | $1,634.21 | $1,913.98 |
| $4,000 a month | $1,032.02 | $1,530.81 | $1,801.30 |
| $6,000 a month | $982.09 | $1,442.41 | $1,679.95 |
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.
Inside the schedule at the top of the range
The AOC Schedule of Basic Support Obligations has a defined top row, and North Carolina provides a separate high-income approach for combined income above it. At $2,000 a week the payer brings $8,666.67 a month, and with the top other-parent scenario the combined figure reaches about $14,667, which stays within the published schedule.
That is why every cell in the table below is a straight schedule lookup on Worksheet A. No combination on this page crosses the schedule boundary, so the high-income approach is not triggered.
Reading the full grid near the schedule boundary
Every cell below is a standard Worksheet A 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 child count.
The schedule boundary is worth naming because this page sits closer to it than the lower-income North Carolina pages, but no scenario crosses it.
What this estimate includes
- Standard AOC schedule results for every combination shown
- Confirmation that the combined income stays under the schedule top
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- The North Carolina high-income approach, not triggered here
- Worksheet B and C calculations for shared or split custody
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
This page is the highest weekly income in the series and still lands inside the schedule, which makes it a clean reference for the Worksheet A response at a solid income.
The schedule boundary is the first thing to watch if a reader has a very high other-parent income, but within the scenarios shown it is not reached.
Frequently asked questions
Does the high-income approach apply at $2,000 a week?
No. The combined income on this page tops out around $14,667 a month, which stays inside the published AOC schedule, so every cell is a standard lookup.
How close does this page get to the schedule top?
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, still below the AOC boundary.
What happens if combined income passes the schedule top?
The guidelines provide a separate high-income approach for income above the schedule, but no scenario on this page reaches that point, so it is not applied.
Does the other parent income still matter at this income?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $1,190.67 to $978.68 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving similarly.
Is the Worksheet A baseline still fixed?
Yes. This page runs Worksheet A, so the shared and split-custody worksheets are not exercised regardless of income.
Where can I check combined income near the boundary?
The full North Carolina child support calculator on this site handles larger combined incomes, and the AOC-A-162 schedule linked in the sources shows the top of the table.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real North Carolina child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full North Carolina 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 North Carolina guideline.
