Free Chore Chart & Allowance Spreadsheet
This free chore chart and allowance spreadsheet does the part most chore charts skip: working out what one child's week of chores actually earned, so payday isn't done in someone's head. List their chores, mark each one as part of the base allowance or a paid extra, tick them off on the day they're done, and the payday box works out the week's pay under the rule you pick: the base allowance in proportion to the chores done, or all-or-nothing past a threshold you set, plus a set amount for each extra. Then it splits that pay into spend, save and give at the percentages you choose. It opens pre-filled with a fictional example child so you can see it working before you change a thing. It's a taste of the full Kids Chore Chart & Allowance System.

What it does
- A Sunday-to-Saturday tick grid for up to 10 chores for one child, each marked Base (counts toward the weekly allowance) or Paid extra (pays a set amount each time it's done).
- Works out the week's pay under your rule: the base allowance in proportion to the base chores done, or all of it only at or above a threshold you set, plus the paid extras.
- Splits the payout into spend, save and give at your own percentages, and checks that they add up to 100%.
- Opens pre-filled with a fictional example child's week — type over it with your own. No email, no signup, no app account.

Want the jars to keep their balances week after week?
This free sheet works out one child's payday for one week. The full Kids Chore Chart & Allowance System keeps it going for the whole family: every child on one weekly payday (up to six people, parents' chores included), an Allowance Ledger that carries each child's spend, save and give jar balances from week to week (withdrawals included), savings goals that count down the weeks to go at each child's real saving rate, a Dashboard that flags any payday you still owe, a 135-chore library sorted into five age bands, and a Fridge Chart tab that prints each child's week from the same data. Twelve tabs in Excel or as a native Google Sheet, printable fridge charts in Letter and A4, and a 14-page Start Here guide.
