These allowance chart examples cover the ways families actually pay kids: per chore, per week, and with a save-spend-donate split. Pick the one closest to your setup and adjust the rates and chores.
Who uses it: A parent setting up allowance for a younger child
Why this works: A first chart keeps six simple chores, each with a rate and a check. The running total at the bottom makes the link between work and pay visible without being complicated.
Who uses it: A family that pays a base amount plus extras
Why this works: The base is paid regardless, so the child has a steady amount; bonuses are optional extra earnings. This teaches a stable floor plus the value of going further.
Who uses it: A parent teaching budgeting alongside earning
Why this works: Routing the total into three jars builds the habit of saving and giving instead of spending it all. Each jar has a stated purpose so the split is not arbitrary.
Who uses it: A parent of a teenager with higher-value jobs
Why this works: Older kids take on bigger jobs with bigger rates. The chart keeps the same chore-to-amount structure but scales the numbers and tasks to a teenager.
Who uses it: A parent coordinating allowance for two or more kids
Why this works: Keeping the same rate per chore for each sibling prevents arguments over fairness. Shared chores rotate, personal chores stay with each child, and each kid gets their own total.
Who uses it: A parent linking allowance to a savings goal
Why this works: The chart points the save jar at a concrete goal with a price and a timeline, so the child sees why they are saving rather than saving in the abstract.
