WISCONSIN Part 53

 If a paying parent makes less than $1,350 per month, use the low-income payer table. There, the percentage owed starts as low as 11.34% for one child or 22.35% for five children. The closer the paying parent’s income gets to $1,350, the closer the percentages of income owed look like the standard guideline above.

If a paying parent makes more than $7,000, then the high-income payer table may be used. Just because a parent makes more money does not necessarily mean child support payments will be higher than the standard amount. A parent of one child who makes $8,000 a month pays 14% of that income or $1,120, while a parent of one child who makes $7,000 a month pays 17% of that income or $1,190. This might seem unfair to you. If in fact it is unfair, and the court agrees with you, then it’s possible for the court to increase the amount.
