If combined adjusted gross income is above $35,000 per month, which is the highest amount of income considered in the table of monthly basic child support obligations set forth in § 48-13-301 of this code, the basic child support obligation shall not be less than it would be based on a combined adjusted gross income of $35,000.

(2) Two children -- $3,719 + 0.129 x combined adjusted gross income above $35,000 per month;
(3) Three children -- $4,342 + 0.153 x combined adjusted gross income above $35,000 per month;
(4) Four children -- $4,850 + 0.169 x combined adjusted gross income above $35,000 per month;
(5) Five children -- $5,335 + 0.183 x combined adjusted gross income above $35,000 per month; and
