Chore chart and pocket money tracker with Save, Spend and Give
Pocket money works best when the rules are clear and the kids can see the numbers. Here's a simple system that a lot of families settle on.
1. Decide what's paid and what isn't
Many families split chores into "family jobs" everyone does unpaid (making beds, clearing plates) and "extra jobs" that earn money (washing the car, weeding). Write the list down with an amount per job, so there's nothing to argue about later.
2. Track the week
A chart on the fridge with a tick per day per job is enough. At the end of the week, add it up together with your child. Doing the maths with them is half the lesson.
3. Split it into Save, Spend and Give
Pick percentages together, for example 50% Save, 40% Spend and 10% Give. Use three jars for younger kids and a savings account for older ones. A savings goal with a picture (a toy, a game, a bike) makes saving feel real.
4. Keep a history
Log what was paid each week. Kids love seeing their savings grow, and it settles "but you didn't pay me" debates.
