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 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 | Not available: Combined monthly gross income falls between the $350 minimum band and the lowest transcribed schedule row ($4000); the intervening official rows are not yet transcribed (official confirmation required), so this scenario cannot be computed | Not available: Combined monthly gross income falls between the $350 minimum band and the lowest transcribed schedule row ($4000); the intervening official rows are not yet transcribed (official confirmation required), so this scenario cannot be computed | Not available: Combined monthly gross income falls between the $350 minimum band and the lowest transcribed schedule row ($4000); the intervening official rows are not yet transcribed (official confirmation required), so this scenario cannot be computed |
| $2,000 a month | $559.46 | $835.87 | $1,049.75 |
| $4,000 a month | $487.39 | $721.95 | $910.56 |
| $6,000 a month | $425.05 | $624.00 | $792.21 |
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.
Three worksheets, one schedule
Virginia support starts from the same combined-income schedule under Va. Code § 20-108.2(B) no matter how custody is arranged, but three different worksheets turn that schedule figure into a final number: sole custody (Form DC-637), split custody where each parent has at least one child (DC-638), and shared custody where each parent has the children more than 90 days a year (DC-640).
This page uses the sole custody worksheet, since it covers the most common real-world arrangement. At $750 a week, gross pay is about $3,250 a month, added to the other parent income in the schedule below to reach a combined figure the schedule can be checked against.
What changes with the other worksheets
A split custody case, where each parent has primary care of at least one of the children, runs each side theoretical obligation and offsets them, which usually produces a different total than sole custody. Shared custody, triggered once each parent has the child more than 90 days a year, multiplies the basic obligation by 1.4 and cross-weights it by each parent time share. Neither of those is shown here; this page sticks to sole custody so the numbers below stay comparable across the whole state-by-income series on this site.
What this estimate includes
- The § 20-108.2(B) combined-income schedule, SB 805 rebased
- The sole custody income-share split for 1, 2, or 3 children
- A minimum order check for very low combined incomes
What it leaves out
- Split and shared custody worksheets, which use different math entirely
- Child care and health insurance add-ons
- Spousal support paid under a separate court order, which reduces gross income before the schedule applies
Worth knowing
The sole custody worksheet is a reasonable default for a page comparing income levels, but it is not automatically the right worksheet for a real case. A parent close to the 90-day threshold for shared custody should check which side of that line their actual parenting time falls on, since it changes the formula entirely, not just the input numbers.
Virginia below the $350 combined income line still applies a flat $68 minimum order regardless of which worksheet would otherwise apply, a floor none of the three worksheets can go under.
Frequently asked questions
Which Virginia worksheet does this page use?
The sole custody worksheet under Va. Code § 20-108.2(G)(1), Form DC-637. It applies when one parent has primary physical custody, which is the most common starting point for a support calculation.
How is shared custody different?
Once each parent has the child more than 90 days a year, Form DC-640 applies instead. It multiplies the basic combined obligation by 1.4, then cross-multiplies each parent theoretical share by the other parent time percentage, which generally produces a lower transfer than the sole custody worksheet.
What changed with SB 805?
Effective July 1, 2025, SB 805 rebased the entire Virginia schedule and raised the top of it to $42,500 in combined monthly gross income, with percentage add-ons above that ceiling. It replaced an older, lower-ceiling schedule.
Does the other parent income matter under this worksheet?
Yes. Sole custody support is each parent share of combined income multiplied by the basic obligation from the schedule, so a higher other-parent income increases the payer share of the total pool of income even as the total obligation itself may also shift.
What about split custody, where each parent has one child?
Form DC-638 applies then. Each parent theoretical sole-custody obligation for the child in the other household is calculated, and the parent owing more pays the difference. That is a different mechanism from the single-household math shown on this page.
Is spousal support factored into these numbers?
Not on this page. Virginia deducts spousal support actually paid under a court order or written agreement from that parent gross income before the schedule runs, which would lower the figures shown here for a parent who also pays spousal support.
About the numbers on this page
Every figure in the table above comes from running the real Virginia child support engine on this site, the same engine and data pack behind the full Virginia 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 Virginia guideline.
