Problem this solves
Allowance systems often fail when the math becomes inconsistent. This tool keeps chores, values, completed work, and weekly totals visible in one printable place.

AllowanceCalc — Age-Based Chore & Allowance Tracker
Create a kid-friendly weekly chore chart, assign values, check off completed chores, calculate allowance totals, and print or download the result.
Who this is for
Parents of school-age children, roughly ages 6-14, who want a simple chore-and-allowance system without requiring kids to use an app.
Example use case
A parent adds two children, loads age-appropriate chore suggestions, adjusts values, prints the chart, and checks boxes at week's end to calculate allowance.
Why this tool exists
It combines the flexibility of a calculator with the visibility of a physical chart, making the system easier for kids to understand and follow.
Privacy note
Children's names, chores, goals, and earnings stay in the browser. Optional saving uses localStorage only on this device.
Limitations
The chore suggestions are general ideas, not rules. Parents should adjust chore difficulty, payment, points, and expectations to fit age, ability, and family values.
FAQ
AllowanceCalc FAQ
Can I use points instead of dollars?
Yes. Change the label to pts, stars, tokens, privileges, or any short label. The tool totals the value exactly the same way.
Can each child have a separate chart?
Yes. Add multiple children and the output creates a separate chart for each child on the same printable page.
Can I export the completed week?
Yes. The CSV download includes child, chore, day, value, and completion status, so you can keep a record outside the website.
