Guideline child support scenarios at $1000 a week
The paying parent earns $1000 a week ($4,333.33 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 Oregon 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 | $737.00 | $1,063.00 | $1,247.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $596.62 | $856.62 | $1,000.30 |
| $4,000 a month | $508.04 | $725.40 | $842.40 |
| $6,000 a month | $463.02 | $659.30 | $764.15 |
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.
A dense scale under the credit curve
Oregon computes support on an adjusted gross income scale with 581 rows, which gives the schedule a row for almost any income in its range. The scale produces the basic obligation, and the continuous parenting-time credit then adjusts it, with this page holding the payer at the zero-overnight endpoint.
At $1,000 a week, $4,333.33 a month, the payer sits comfortably inside the scale. For one child the obligation falls from $737 to $463.02 as the other parent income rises, with the two and three-child columns moving more.
Reading the scale with the curve endpoint held
Every cell below starts from the same $4,333.33 a month payer income on the 581-row scale, with the continuous credit curve at its zero-overnight endpoint. The other parent income moves the result, so the four rows differ.
Because the scale is dense, no cell on this page sits awkwardly between rows, and the credit curve adds no banded step on top.
What this estimate includes
- The 581-row adjusted gross income scale lookup
- The zero-overnight endpoint of the continuous credit curve
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- A banded parenting-time adjustment, which Oregon does not use
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
- Court-ordered deviations from the guideline amount
Worth knowing
The dense 581-row structure is part of what makes Oregon results precise, since a row exists for almost any income in range.
At this income the table is fully computed, with the continuous curve endpoint held constant, so the movement across rows is the scale response alone.
Frequently asked questions
How many rows are in the Oregon scale?
The adjusted gross income scale has 581 rows, which covers the incomes on this page and well beyond with a row for almost any figure in its range.
Does the other parent income change the result at $1,000 a week?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $737 to $463.02 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving more.
How does the credit curve sit on the scale?
The scale produces the basic obligation, and the continuous credit curve adjusts it for parenting time. This page holds the payer at zero overnights, the curve starting endpoint.
Is the zero-overnight baseline still fixed?
Yes. The payer is held at zero overnights, so the credit curve is at its endpoint and does not add any credit to the scale result.
Is every cell computed at this income?
Yes. The combined incomes on this page fall within the 581-row scale, so each cell is a normal lookup with no refusal.
Where can I see the full scale?
The OAR scale is linked in the sources for this page, and the full Oregon child support calculator applies it with both parents incomes.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Oregon child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Oregon 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 Oregon guideline.
