In all states, the only upper limit is 55% of gross as set under federal law. The guidelines do have an maximum amount, but not a limit. After a certain level of income is achieved, the interpretation of the court is required based on a rebuttable presumption.

What is the minimum child support can take?

There is no minimum amount. Perhaps what is meant is..."What is the maximum amount"? In regards to the percentage of a non custodial parent's income/assests that can be garnished for child support obligations, that is determined by the laws of the state in which the support order is rendered. There are some US states where the percentage could be as much as 50% of the non custodial parent's disposable income.
