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 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 | $610.00 | $929.00 | $1,123.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $575.10 | $868.52 | $1,041.86 |
| $4,000 a month | $489.52 | $731.14 | $867.41 |
| $6,000 a month | $431.46 | $641.22 | $756.46 |
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.
The 123-overnight line
North Carolina shared custody, under Worksheet B, begins when each parent has at least 123 overnights a year. Below that line the case stays on Worksheet A, the primary-custody worksheet this page family uses, and the schedule reads the same basic support obligation for the combined income.
At $750 a week, $3,250 a month, the Worksheet A result for one child is $609.50 with no other-parent income. A parent at 123 overnights or more would instead run Worksheet B, which adjusts for the shared time and can produce a lower obligation.
Where the worksheet boundary sits
Every cell below is Worksheet A at the fixed primary baseline. The table does not vary the overnight count, so a reader must compare their own overnights against the 123-night line before deciding whether this page applies.
Under 123 overnights each, Worksheet A stands. At or above it, Worksheet B applies a different, shared-custody calculation that this page does not show.
What this estimate includes
- The Worksheet A result at the fixed primary baseline
- The 123-overnight threshold that defines shared custody
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- Worksheet B, which applies at 123 or more overnights each
- Worksheet C, which applies to split custody
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The 123-night threshold is a clean, checkable number, which is why this page names it directly. A reader can compare their own overnights against it in seconds.
Because the boundary is exactly 123, a parent at 122 overnights stays on Worksheet A while one at 123 moves to B, a step that can matter more than an income change.
Frequently asked questions
When does North Carolina switch to Worksheet B?
When each parent has at least 123 overnights a year, which the guidelines define as shared custody. Below that line, the case stays on Worksheet A.
Does the other parent income change the result at $750 a week?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $609.50 to $432.34 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving similarly.
Would a shared-time parent see a lower number?
Generally, Worksheet B is designed to recognize shared time and can reduce the obligation below the Worksheet A figure shown here, but it is a separate calculation that this page does not run.
What about split custody?
Split custody, where the children are divided between the parents, runs Worksheet C. It is a third path, separate from both A and B, and also not shown on this page.
Is the AOC schedule the same across worksheets?
The schedule of basic support obligations is shared, but each worksheet applies it differently. Worksheet A apportions by income share, while Worksheet B adds the shared-time adjustment.
Where can I run Worksheet B?
The full North Carolina child support calculator on this site accepts the worksheet and overnight counts, and the AOC-A-162 materials linked in the sources cover shared custody.
