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 Rhode Island 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 | $622.00 | $959.00 | $1,140.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $588.67 | $888.88 | $1,065.92 |
| $4,000 a month | $500.86 | $763.39 | $921.54 |
| $6,000 a month | $446.12 | $678.48 | $817.83 |
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.
Primary arrangement, and the offset it avoids
Rhode Island computes the base obligation on the AO 2023-02 table and, for shared placement, applies a separate offset under AO 2018-01 that recognizes roughly equal parenting time. The offset applies when the parents share placement, and it does not apply to a primary arrangement.
This page family fixes a primary arrangement, the common paying-parent case. That keeps the shared-placement offset out of the table, so the numbers below are the unadjusted AO 2023-02 result.
Reading the unadjusted table result
Every cell below is the AO 2023-02 result at the fixed primary baseline. The other parent income moves the number, and the child count raises it, with three children producing the largest figures.
A genuinely shared-placement case would run the AO 2018-01 offset, which is a different calculation from the unadjusted table shown here.
What this estimate includes
- The AO 2023-02 table result at the primary baseline
- A clear statement that the shared-placement offset is not applied
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- The shared-placement offset under AO 2018-01
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
- Court-ordered deviations from the table amount
Worth knowing
The distinction between primary and shared placement is the key assumption on this page, because Rhode Island has a specific order for each path.
At the primary baseline the table reads as the clean AO 2023-02 result, which is the most direct answer for a paying, non-shared-placement parent.
Frequently asked questions
What is the shared-placement offset?
Under AO 2018-01, Rhode Island applies an offset when the parents share placement, recognizing roughly equal parenting time. It does not apply to a primary arrangement.
Why is it not applied on this page?
This page family fixes a primary arrangement, the common paying-parent case. With primary placement, the shared-placement offset does not come into play.
Does the other parent income change the result at $750 a week?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $622 to $446.12 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving similarly.
What would a shared-placement case look like?
A shared-placement case would run the AO 2018-01 offset, which can change the obligation. A reader in that arrangement should use the full calculator.
Is the AO 2023-02 table still the base?
Yes. Both the primary and shared-placement paths start from the AO 2023-02 table; they differ in how the offset is applied on top.
Where can I run the shared-placement calculation?
The full Rhode Island child support calculator on this site accepts the placement type, and the AO 2018-01 materials linked in the sources describe the offset.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Rhode Island child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Rhode Island 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 Rhode Island guideline.
