How the number of children changes the amount in Arizona
With Parent A earning $60,000 and Parent B $40,000, the guideline amount for 2 children is $871 a month, about 1.48 times the $588 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.
Arizona uses the income shares model: the schedule gives the basic obligation for the parents' combined monthly income, and each parent is responsible for their share.

With about equal parenting time and the same incomes ($60,000 and $40,000), the guideline amount is about $166 a month (Parent A pays Parent B), against $871 when Parent A has 52 overnights a year.

That percentage of the basic obligation (plus the older-child adjustment) is subtracted from the share of the parent who has the time. With essentially equal time both parents get the top percentage and the parent with the larger amount pays.
