Child Support If You Make $1,500 a Week in Nevada
Nevada has a yearly low-income schedule in addition to its main bands, and at $1,500 a week the payer sits well clear of it, which is worth knowing.

Guideline child support scenarios at $1500 a week
The paying parent earns $1500 a week ($6,500.00 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 Nevada 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 | $1,000.00 | $1,375.00 | $1,625.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $1,000.00 | $1,375.00 | $1,625.00 |
| $4,000 a month | $1,000.00 | $1,375.00 | $1,625.00 |
| $6,000 a month | $1,000.00 | $1,375.00 | $1,625.00 |
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.
The low-income schedule, and where this page sits
Nevada provides a yearly low-income schedule alongside its main percentage bands under NAC 425. The low-income schedule is there for payers whose income is low enough that the standard band would be too heavy, and the engine applies it when the computed income lands in its range.
At $1,500 a week, $6,500 a month, the payer is far above that low-income territory, so the main band applies and the low-income schedule is not triggered. The result for one child is $1,000, two children $1,375, and three children $1,625, with flat rows throughout.
Reading the main band at this income
Every row below uses the same $1,500-a-week payer income, and the amount is fixed because the formula reads only the payer income. The main percentage band applies, and the yearly low-income schedule stays out of reach.
The primary-arrangement baseline keeps the joint-custody offset out, so the flat rows are the complete story at this income.
What this estimate includes
- The main percentage band result for $6,500 a month
- A clear statement that the low-income schedule is not triggered
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent rows
What it leaves out
- The yearly low-income schedule, which applies at far lower incomes
- The joint-custody offset
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The yearly low-income schedule is separate from the band structure, and knowing it exists explains why the Nevada pages in this series can behave differently at very low incomes.
At $1,500 a week the payer is comfortably in the main band, so the page is a clean example of the flat payer-only percentage at a mid-level income.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Nevada low-income schedule?
It is a yearly schedule under NAC 425 for payers whose income is low enough that the standard band would be too heavy. The engine applies it when the computed income falls into its range.
Does it apply at $1,500 a week?
No. At $6,500 a month the payer is far above the low-income territory, so the main percentage band applies instead.
Why is every row the same at this income?
Nevada applies its percentage to the paying parent income only. The other parent income never enters the formula, so every other-parent row repeats the same column values.
How are the figures at this income calculated?
The payer monthly income of $6,500 falls in the applicable band, producing $1,000 for one child, $1,375 for two, and $1,625 for three.
What would happen at a much lower income?
If the computed income fell into the yearly low-income schedule range, the engine would apply that schedule instead of the main band, which is why this page family leaves the flags unforced.
Where can I see the low-income schedule?
The NAC 425 materials linked in the sources include it, and the full Nevada child support calculator applies it at the incomes where it matters.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Nevada child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Nevada child support calculator.
