  1. Paying parent’s monthly income: $5,000 - other parent’s: $3,000 - two children, primary custody.
  2. Annualized income: $5,000 x 12 = $60,000 (below the $138,000 cap).
  3. Two-child rate under Alaska R. Civ. P. 90.3: 27% - $60,000 x 27% = $16,200/yr = $1,350 per month.

Result: $1,350 per month
