How the number of children changes the amount in Hawaii
With Parent A earning $60,000 and Parent B $40,000, the guideline amount for 3 children is $1,839 a month, about 2.67 times the $688 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.
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.
