One-child base rate at Nevada's median income
18% of $63,276, the Census ACS 2022 median household income for Nevada, divided across twelve months, level with the median state. An index for comparing states, not a case estimate: guidelines apply to the obligor's income, or to combined parental income under the Income Shares model, and a court sets the actual order. How this is derived.

Where Nevada's one-child starting rate sits
Each bar counts states with a published one-child base rate in that 3-point guideline band. Nevada is marked in its own band. Counts are exact from the 51-jurisdiction dataset.
Nevada's 18% published one-child base rate is higher than 19 of 51 recorded state rates. The comparison describes guideline starting percentages, not a complete child-support estimate.

Smaller Title IV-D caseload
Nevada in the light-caseload third
81,852 active cases put Nevada in the lightest third by OCSE P-52 volume (#37).
Nevada carries 81,852 Title IV-D cases - a light-third book on OCSE P-52 volume. 5 jurisdictions share the Percentage of Income model with Nevada. Unlike capped states, the formula applies to full reported income before deductions. Nearest one-child rate peer: Alabama at 18% (Δ 0.0 pts). Nevada also builds a parenting-time credit into the guideline - relevant when a dense order book meets substantial overnight time. A percentage figure alone does not determine the dollar amount - compare Nevada to other guideline models →
On OCSE FY2023 tables, Nevada ranks #17 of 51 on order-establishment share and #37 by caseload volume (~$2,131 distributed per case, our calc on P-4/P-52). Source: HHS Office of Child Support Services, FY 2023 Preliminary Report.
How Nevada Calculates Child Support
Nevada uses the Percentage of Income model. A fixed percentage of the non-custodial parent's income is applied based on the number of children. Its one-child base rate is in line with the national middle range. Pair the schedule math with Nevada's denser-than-most order-establishment share when reading enforcement.
Percentage of obligor income. 1 child = 18%, 2 = 25%, 3 = 29%, 4 = 31%, 5 = 33%.
