How the number of children changes the amount in Idaho
With Parent A earning $60,000 and Parent B $40,000, the guideline amount for 2 children is $705 a month, about 1.37 times the $515 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.
Idaho uses the income shares model. The schedule is a set of percentages of the parents' combined annual Guidelines Income, falling as income rises; each bracket's monthly amount is added up, and each parent is responsible for their share of combined income.

With about equal parenting time and the same incomes ($60,000 and $40,000), the guideline amount is about $14 a month (Parent A pays Parent B), against $705 when Parent A has 52 overnights a year. When the children spend more than 25% of the overnights with each parent, the basic obligation is multiplied by 1.5, each parent's share is multiplied by the other parent's share of overnights, and the two are offset. No one pays more than they would without shared custody.
