Kids Chore Chart & Allowance Tracker

Who it’s for

It’s made for parents of children aged about 4 to 12 who want chores, allowance and saving in one place, without doing the maths every Sunday. It handles up to four children, each with their own colour, age, chores and jar split.

The rules are yours. Each chore is worth points (you set what a point is worth) or a money amount. Pay the weekly base allowance always, or only when a share of the chores is done. Add bonuses and deductions with a note; pay never goes below zero.

What’s inside, tab by tab

Start Here

Three steps, one colour rule (yellow cells are where you type) and quick answers.

Setup

Up to 4 children with ages, a weekly base allowance, each child’s Save / Spend / Give split, payday, and up to 15 chores with their value and who does them.

Weekly Chores

52 weekly charts with a colour for each child. Tick a box for each chore done each day and the totals add up underneath.

Allowance Ledger

Every week for every child: chore pay, base allowance, bonus, deduction, total, the three jars, and paid or still to pay.

Jars

Save, Spend and Give balances, plus a log for spending, giving and birthday money.

Savings Goals

What each child is saving for, a progress bar, weeks to go at their current pace and a ready-around date, plus a wish list.

Dashboard

Pick any week to see points, pay, jar balances and goal progress for every child, with three charts.

The printable pack

Seven pages in both US Letter and A4: a blank weekly chore chart, charts already filled in with chores for ages 4–6, 7–9 and 10–12, a reward chart with 30 stars to colour or cover with stickers, a Save / Spend / Give jar tracker and a savings goal colouring page. The printables are for your own family’s use.

Excel and Google Sheets

The workbook is an .xlsx file that opens in Excel 2010 or later, Excel for Mac and LibreOffice. For Google Sheets, upload the .xlsx to Google Drive, double-click it, choose Open with Google Sheets, then File > Save as Google Sheets. Formulas and dropdowns carry over; Google redraws the charts, so they can look slightly different. The quick-start guide walks you through it. Type your own currency symbol on Setup and the whole workbook uses it.

There are no macros and nothing to install. Every formula uses only functions that Excel and Google Sheets share, and before release the workbook was filled with sample families and checked by 233 automated tests. Apple Numbers can open the file but isn’t supported.

How delivery works

You buy on Etsy, with Etsy’s checkout and buyer protection. As soon as payment goes through, the download is ready on your Etsy Purchases page and Etsy emails you a link. You get one ZIP file containing:

• Kids_Chore_Chart_Allowance_Tracker.xlsx
• Printables_US_Letter.pdf and Printables_A4.pdf (7 pages each)
• Quick_Start_Guide.pdf (5 pages)

Nothing is shipped. Because it’s a digital file, Etsy returns don’t apply, but if something isn’t working, send a message through the shop and we’ll help put it right.
