My kids are 9, 8, and 5. They get $5 a week for doing chores. Essentially a dollar a day cuz weekends aren’t included. But their chores are just picking up after themselves.

Depends on the age. I’m don’t pay my kids for doing chores in a home they live in for free. When my son started high school (before he got a job) I gave him $40-$60 a week. But he had to do extra around the house (not standard chores)

I don’t so much pay for each chore but I give them a monthly allowance so that they learn money management now that they are young. My 12 year old get $30 a month and the 16yr old gets $70. They must use that for their wants and they don’t get any extra.

My kids do chores I don’t pay them for doing them. But I buy them almost anything they ask for

U can make a chore chart and every complete chore they do pay them so much. Like a couple bucks. Not too much.

My 14 year old gets $20 a week for chores. He has to clean the kitchen/dishes every night clean his bathroom x2 monthly. And whatever else is needed. $5 goes to his spend anywhere and $15 to savings that if it’s a legit reason he can pull from but has set goals for what he wants to use his savings on. Ex. gamming computer.
