Guideline child support scenarios at $1500 a week
The paying parent earns $1500 a week ($6,500.00 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 West Virginia 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 | $898.00 | $1,352.00 | $1,615.00 |
| $2,000 a month | $775.41 | $1,157.76 | $1,371.12 |
| $4,000 a month | $721.81 | $1,064.76 | $1,246.76 |
| $6,000 a month | $668.72 | $991.64 | $1,166.36 |
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 broad schedule, a clear child-count step
West Virginia statutory schedule runs to 690 rows, so the combined incomes on this page all land inside it without a refusal. The schedule gives the base obligation, and the number of children sets the level, with three children producing the largest figures in every row.
At $1,500 a week, $6,500 a month, the payer obligation for one child falls from $898 to $668.72 as the other parent income rises, while the three-child column runs from $1,615 down to $1,166.36, a wider band set by the child count.
Reading the level set by child count
Every row below uses the same $6,500 a month payer income, and the other parent income moves the obligation within a range set by the child count. The three-child column sits well above the one-child column in every row.
The basic-arrangement baseline keeps the extended offset out, so the schedule and the child count are the two forces at work.
What this estimate includes
- The 690-row schedule lookup for every combination
- The child-count level, with three children the largest
- Results for 1, 2, or 3 children across four other-parent incomes
What it leaves out
- The 160% time-weighted extended-shared offset
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
- Court-ordered deviations from the schedule amount
Worth knowing
The child-count step is the most visible feature at this income, because the schedule is broad enough that income coverage is never the question.
At the basic baseline the table is fully computed, which makes it a clean reference for the schedule response at a mid-level income.
Frequently asked questions
How wide is the schedule at this income?
The 690-row schedule covers the combined incomes on this page with room to spare, so every cell is a normal lookup with no refusal.
Does the other parent income change the result at $1,500 a week?
Yes. For one child the obligation falls from $898 to $668.72 as the other parent income rises from none to $6,000 a month, with the two and three-child columns moving more.
Why is the three-child column so much larger?
The schedule assigns a larger base obligation for each additional child, so three children sit well above one child at the same combined income.
Is the basic-arrangement baseline still fixed?
Yes. The extended-shared offset is not applied, so the schedule and the child count are the only forces in play.
Is every cell computed at this income?
Yes. The combined incomes on this page fall within the 690-row schedule, so each cell computes a normal result.
Where can I see the full schedule?
The W. Va. Code schedule linked in the sources publishes the rows, and the full West Virginia child support calculator applies them to any child count.
