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 Utah 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 | $954.00 | $1,491.00 | $1,696.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $869.00 | $1,428.00 | $1,623.00 |
| $4,000 a month | $825.00 | $1,338.00 | $1,521.00 |
| $6,000 a month | $782.00 | $1,258.00 | $1,432.00 |
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.
Brackets continue at the top of the range
Utah 81-6-304 table continues to cover the combined incomes on this page, and the bracket lookup produces a number in every cell with no cap. The no-interpolation behavior means the results step at bracket boundaries rather than sliding, even at this income.
At $2,000 a week, $8,666.67 a month, the sole-custody bracket lookup gives one child $958 in the no-other-income row, falling to $770 as the other parent income rises, with the two and three-child columns moving more.
Reading the fully computed bracket grid
Every cell below is a bracket lookup on the sole-custody path, so the table is directly comparable across all four other-parent rows and all three child counts. The payer income is fixed down each column, and the movement comes from the other parent income and the child count.
Because there is no interpolation, the changes across the rows can step at bracket boundaries, which is the honest Utah behavior at every income.
What this estimate includes
- The bracket lookup for every combination shown
- Confirmation that no cell refuses at this income
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- A high-income cap, not reached at this income
- The joint or split custody paths, not used at the sole baseline
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
Worth knowing
The absence of a cap at this income is a real, verifiable result, not an assumption, and it is visible in the fully computed grid.
The bracket steps remain the distinctive behavior even at the top of the series, so a reader should expect flat stretches and jumps rather than a smooth curve.
Frequently asked questions
Does Utah cap support at $2,000 a week?
No. The bracket lookup computes every cell on this page, and the combined incomes stay inside the transcribed table range.
Does the other parent income still matter at this income?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $958 to $770 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving more.
Do the bracket steps still appear at this income?
Yes. Because Utah does not interpolate, the results can step at bracket boundaries as the combined income crosses from one bracket to the next.
Is the sole-custody baseline still fixed?
Yes. The joint and split paths under 81-6-206 and 81-6-207 are not exercised, so the bracket lookup runs on the sole-custody path.
Is every cell computed at this income?
Yes. The combined incomes on this page fall inside transcribed brackets, so each cell is a normal lookup with no refusal.
Where can I check the top of the Utah table?
The 81-6-304 table linked in the sources shows the bracket range, and the full Utah child support calculator applies the lookup to higher incomes.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Utah child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Utah 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 Utah guideline.
