How the number of children changes the amount in Hawaii

For one child, the guideline amount ranges from $91 a month when Parent A earns $20,000 to $2,386 a month at $250,000, with Parent B earning $40,000.

Hawaii uses a Melson-type formula. The children's primary need ($455 a child plus child care and health insurance) comes first; a standard of living adjustment then shares part of the parents' remaining income with the children. Each parent's part follows their share of the parents' combined net income.
