Child Support If You Make $2,000 a Week in Tennessee
At $2,000 a week the Tennessee low-time increase and the 92-day credit are both out of the picture, so the schedule responds purely to income.

Guideline child support scenarios at $2000 a week
The paying parent earns $2000 a week ($8,666.67 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 Tennessee 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 | $1,254.44 | $1,678.93 | $1,869.17 |
| $2,000 a month | $1,166.08 | $1,551.55 | $1,717.72 |
| $4,000 a month | $1,080.40 | $1,435.11 | $1,586.43 |
| $6,000 a month | $1,004.74 | $1,328.65 | $1,464.25 |
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.
Two Tennessee rules, both held at zero
Tennessee is unusual for its overnight rules: a low-time increase that can raise support as overnights approach 68 days, and a variable-multiplier credit that begins at 92 days. Both are real mechanisms, and both are entirely out of the calculation at the zero-overnight baseline this page uses.
With neither rule active, the 563-row schedule responds purely to income. For one child the obligation falls from $1,254.44 to $1,004.74 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving more.
Reading the grid with the overnight rules in mind
Every row below is the schedule result with the payer at zero overnights, so neither the low-time increase nor the 92-day credit applies. The other parent income drives the movement, and the child count sets the level.
A reader with overnights should compare their count against the 68-day and 92-day markers, because each one changes the calculation in a different direction.
What this estimate includes
- The 563-row schedule response at the zero-overnight baseline
- The two overnight rules stated for comparison
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- The low-time increase below 68 overnights
- The variable-multiplier credit from 92 overnights
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
Tennessee two overnight rules are what make this page family worth a careful baseline disclosure, because they can move the result in opposite directions.
At this income the table is fully computed and purely income-driven, which isolates the income variable from the overnight mechanisms cleanly.
Frequently asked questions
What would change the Tennessee result at $2,000 a week?
The overnight count. Between 0 and 68 days a low-time increase can apply, and at 92 days a variable-multiplier credit begins. This page holds the payer at zero, so neither mechanism appears.
Does the other parent income still matter at this income?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $1,254.44 to $1,004.74 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving more.
Why does this page hold the payer at zero overnights?
Zero overnights is the sole-custody baseline and the common paying-parent case. It keeps both of Tennessee unusual overnight rules out of the table.
Is there any refusal at this income?
No. Every combination falls within the schedule, so each cell computes a normal result.
Which direction do the two rules move the obligation?
The low-time increase can raise support toward 68 days, while the variable-multiplier credit from 92 days works in a different direction, so the overnight count genuinely changes the shape of the result.
Where can I run a case with overnights?
The full Tennessee child support calculator on this site accepts overnights, and the guidelines linked in the sources describe both rules.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Tennessee child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Tennessee 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 Tennessee guideline.
