Child Support If You Make $1,500 a Week in Ohio
At $1,500 a week the payer annual income is high enough that the Ohio floors bind in fewer cells, and the ordinary JFS 07767 schedule math is the story.

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 Ohio 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 | $983.33 | $1,474.33 | $1,527.17 |
| $2,000 a month | $851.69 | $1,271.00 | $1,501.56 |
| $4,000 a month | $764.01 | $1,135.28 | $1,335.13 |
| $6,000 a month | $699.62 | $1,040.82 | $1,225.73 |
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 schedule math taking over
Ohio computes on combined annual gross income, reads the JFS 07767 schedule, and splits the obligation by income share. At $1,500 a week the payer brings $6,500 a month, or $78,000 a year, which clears the floor range for most cells in this table. The minimum order and self-sufficiency reserve still exist, but they bind in fewer places at this income.
The payer also outearns every other-parent scenario in this table, from zero to $6,000 a month, so the payer carries the majority of the combined obligation. The figures step with the combined annual income and the payer share, which is the ordinary income-share behavior without the floors dominating.
Reading the table with fewer floors binding
Every row keeps the payer at $1,500 a week and adds a different other-parent income. The combined annual figure selects the JFS 07767 row, and the payer share of that combined total sets the obligation. Because the payer income is high, most cells show the ordinary schedule result rather than a floor figure, which makes the income-share mechanics the visible story.
What this estimate includes
- The JFS 07767 schedule on combined annual income around $78,000 to $150,000
- The proportional share of the schedule amount assigned to the paying parent
- The payer as the majority earner in every row
What it leaves out
- The parenting-time reduction, which needs court-ordered overnights
- The floor provisions, which bind in fewer cells at this income
- Add-ons such as child care and health insurance
Worth knowing
The transition from floor-dominated to schedule-dominated results between the lower incomes and $1,500 a week is the Ohio floors doing exactly what they are designed to do.
Because the payer is the majority earner in every row, this page is a clean demonstration of the ordinary income-share math at a mid-to-high income.
Frequently asked questions
Do the Ohio floors still matter at $1,500 a week?
They still exist, but they bind in fewer cells at this income. The payer annual income of $78,000 clears the floor range for most of the table, so the ordinary schedule math dominates.
Why does the number change with the other-parent income?
The combined annual income changes with the other-parent income, which moves the JFS 07767 row, and the payer share of that combined total also changes. Both effects shift the payer figure.
Is the payer the majority earner at this income?
In this table, yes. The payer brings $6,500 a month, and the highest other-parent scenario is $6,000, so the payer share stays above half in every row.
Does the payer owe the whole schedule amount?
No. The schedule amount is the combined obligation. Ohio assigns each parent a share in proportion to income, and the paying parent owes only their share.
What is the $78,000 annual figure?
$1,500 a week times 52 weeks equals $78,000 a year. Ohio reads the schedule on annual income, so this page converts the weekly figure.
Is the monthly figure an estimate?
No. It is the annual obligation divided by 12, which is exact conversion. The schedule and the share are computed in annual terms first.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Ohio child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Ohio 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 Ohio guideline.
