Frequently asked questions
How much should I give?
Rough guide: age × ₹50/week. 10-year-old = ₹500/week. Adjust to your family's means and child's maturity.
Should allowance be tied to chores?
Mixed opinions. Pure chore-based teaches work ethic but can make kids transactional about helping. Hybrid works well: base allowance + bonus for extra.
3-jar method?
Split allowance into Spend (free use), Save (longer-term goal like toy/game), Give (charity/gift). Teaches all three money skills.
When to stop allowance?
Usually 16–18 when kid can work part-time. Transition gradually — reduce as they earn their own money.
