Age 9 allowance — the honest guide

What a 9-year-old amount that teaches money without bribery. Answer-first, pediatric-guidance-informed, printable.

Age 9: $4–5/wk. Tie it to the family system, not per-chore prices.

Rules that work

• Same day every week — consistency beats amount
• Some chores are family duty (unpaid), some are extras (paid)
• Three jars: save / spend / give
• Never dock for behavior — keep money and discipline separate
