Child Support If You Make $750 a Week in New York
At $750 a week the ordinary CSSA percentage applies, and because New York allocates the obligation pro rata, the amount is the percentage of the paying parent own income in every row.

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 New York 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 | $510.23 | $750.34 | $870.40 |
| $2,000 a month | $510.23 | $750.34 | $870.40 |
| $4,000 a month | $510.23 | $750.34 | $870.40 |
| $6,000 a month | $510.23 | $750.34 | $870.40 |
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 percentage formula, now in full effect
New York Child Support Standards Act sets a flat statutory percentage of combined parental income: 17 percent for one child, 25 percent for two, and 29 percent for three, allocated pro rata to the noncustodial parent. Above the Self-Support Reserve the percentage applies normally, and the paying parent owes their pro rata share of the combined obligation.
Because the allocation is pro rata, the paying parent share of a percentage of combined income works out to the same percentage of the paying parent own CSSA income. At $750 a week that is why every other-parent row in the table below shows the same figure for a given child count: the other-parent income does not change the payer own percentage result.
Reading a table with identical rows
Every row uses the same $750-a-week payer income, and the figure is the same across the four other-parent scenarios for each child count. That is the CSSA pro-rata allocation: the paying parent owes a percentage of combined income equal to their share, which simplifies to the percentage of their own income. The columns still differ because the percentage steps with the number of children.
What this estimate includes
- The CSSA percentage applied to the paying parent CSSA income
- The pro-rata allocation of the combined obligation
- The child-count percentages for 1, 2, or 3 children
What it leaves out
- The Self-Support Reserve minimum order, which does not bind at this income
- The income cap above which the percentage stops applying automatically
- Add-ons such as child care and health insurance
Worth knowing
The identical rows are a mathematical consequence of the pro-rata allocation, not a display choice. The full New York calculator shows the same behavior for a payer at this income.
At $750 a week the payer clears the reserve, so this page documents the ordinary percentage formula, in contrast to the $500 page where the reserve controlled every cell.
Frequently asked questions
Why do all the other-parent rows show the same figure?
New York allocates the CSSA percentage of combined income pro rata. The paying parent share of a percentage of combined income equals the percentage of their own CSSA income, so the other-parent income does not change the payer result.
What are the CSSA percentages?
The Child Support Standards Act sets 17 percent of combined parental income for one child, 25 percent for two, and 29 percent for three, rising to 31 percent for four and at least 35 percent for five or more.
Why do the columns differ if the rows are identical?
The percentage steps with the number of children, so one child uses 17 percent, two use 25 percent, and three use 29 percent. The child-count column changes the percentage; the other-parent row does not change the payer result.
Does the Self-Support Reserve apply at $750 a week?
No. The payer clears the reserve, so the ordinary percentage applies in full rather than the flat minimum order that controlled the $500 page in this series.
How is the CSSA income calculated?
The engine deducts FICA from the annual gross income to reach the CSSA income, per the statutory deduction for taxes actually paid. The percentage applies to that CSSA income, not the gross figure.
Does the $193,000 cap matter at this income?
No. The cap stops the percentage from applying automatically above a combined income, and this income is far below it. The full calculator handles cases near the cap.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real New York child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full New York 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 New York guideline.
