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 5 children is $1,718 a month, about 3.34 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.
