================================================================ FREE CHORE CHART & ALLOWANCE STARTER ================================================================ WHAT'S HERE Free-Chore-Chart-and-Allowance-Starter.xlsx Chore Chart one child's week: chores, a Sun-Sat tick grid, and a payday box that splits the pay into spend, save and give Read Me how to use it HOW TO USE IT Type only in the cream cells; the others are worked out for you. 1. At the top of Chore Chart, fill in the child's name, Week starting, Base allowance, Payday and the Spend / Save / Give percentages (they must add to 100%). Pick a Pay rule: Proportional or All-or-nothing. For All-or-nothing, set the threshold too. 2. Type over the example chores with your own. In Pays as, pick Base (part of the base allowance) or Paid extra (enter the amount in Per time). For a Base chore, enter Times planned for the week; leave it blank only for an as-needed chore, which earns no Base credit. (If no Base chore has Times planned, the full base allowance is paid.) 3. Tick through the week and read the payday box under the grid. For the next week, clear the ticks and change the date. HOW THE PAY WORKS Proportional pays the base allowance in proportion to the Base chores done All-or-nothing pays it only at or above the threshold you set Paid extra pays the amount you set, each time the chore is done WORKS IN Excel or LibreOffice.
