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 South Carolina 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 | $618.00 | $943.00 | $1,135.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $520.00 | $943.00 | $1,135.00 |
| $4,000 a month | $439.31 | $943.00 | $1,135.00 |
| $6,000 a month | $388.24 | $943.00 | $1,135.00 |
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.
Primary arrangement, and the offset it avoids
South Carolina 2024 guidelines include a 150 percent shared-custody offset for arrangements that meet an overnight threshold, with a transition band around 110 to 127 overnights. The offset recognizes shared time, but it applies only when the parents share custody.
This page family fixes a primary arrangement, the common paying-parent case, which avoids the shared-custody overnights requirement entirely. The table below is the primary-path result, and the offset is disclosed because a shared-time reader would need it.
Reading the primary-path result
Every cell below is the primary-arrangement result, so the shared-custody offset is not applied. At $750 a week the two and three-child columns hold at $943 and $1,135 across every other-parent row, while the one-child column responds to the other parent income.
A genuinely shared-custody case would run the 150 percent offset through its transition band, which is a different calculation from the primary path shown here.
What this estimate includes
- The primary-arrangement result at the fixed baseline
- A clear statement that the shared-custody offset is not applied
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- The 150% shared-custody offset
- The 110-127 overnight transition band
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The 150 percent offset is one of the largest shared-custody adjustments in this series, which is why the primary-arrangement baseline changes the result so much.
At the primary baseline the page is the unadjusted schedule result, which is the right answer for the common paying-parent case.
Frequently asked questions
What is the South Carolina shared-custody offset?
It is a 150 percent offset that applies to shared-custody arrangements meeting an overnight threshold, with a transition band around 110 to 127 overnights.
Why is it not applied on this page?
This page family fixes a primary arrangement, which avoids the shared-custody overnights requirement entirely. The offset only applies when the parents share custody.
Does the other parent income change the result at $750 a week?
Partially. For one child the obligation falls from $618 to $388.24 as the other parent income rises, while the two and three-child columns hold at $943 and $1,135 across all rows.
What is the 110-127 overnight band?
It is the transition range in the shared-custody rules where the offset begins to apply. This page does not enter that band because the baseline is primary.
Why do two and three children stay flat at this income?
The schedule structure at this income holds the two and three-child amounts steady across the other-parent rows, while the one-child amount continues to respond.
Where can I run a shared-custody case?
The full South Carolina child support calculator on this site accepts the arrangement and overnights, and the 2024 guidelines linked in the sources describe the offset.
