How the number of children changes the amount in Alaska
With Parent A earning $60,000 and Parent B $40,000, the guideline amount for 5 children is $1,629 a month, about 1.95 times the $835 for one child. Support rises with each child, but by less than the first child's amount, because the guidelines reflect how households share costs among children.
Alaska multiplies the paying parent's adjusted annual income by 20% for one child, 27% for two, 33% for three and 3% more for each additional child. The other parent's income isn't used when one parent has the children most of the year. The yearly amount is paid in twelve equal monthly installments.

With about equal parenting time and the same incomes ($60,000 and $40,000), the guideline amount is about $390 a month (Parent A pays Parent B), against $1,629 when Parent A has 52 overnights a year. When each parent has the children at least 110 overnights a year (thirty percent), Alaska uses its shared custody formula: each parent's amount is multiplied by the other parent's share of custody, the difference is multiplied by 1.5, and the result can't be more than the paying parent's amount without shared custody.
