Chore Charts, Allowance Guides, and Systems That Stick

Every guide below stands on its own, with real lists and real reasoning. Ages are typical ranges, because every child is different, and each guide says how to adjust for yours. Start with your child's age, or jump to the problem that is currently making noise in your house.

Chore charts by age

Start with your child's age, toddlerhood, or the preschool years. Each chart is a full list with the reasoning behind it.

Allowance and money skills

How much, how often, whether chores and money should be connected, and how points become payday.

Rooms, ideas, and quick lists

Fresh lists for specific rooms, pets, busy days, and the master menu of ideas.

Routines and charts

The paper tools, formats, and daily rhythms that make chores run without you.

Family systems and sibling fairness

The launch plan, plus systems for multiple kids, big families, and different household shapes.

When chores are hard

Diagnosis and calm fixes for refusal, overload, screens, and homework collisions.

Seasonal and life events

Lists matched to the school year, holidays, weather, a move, or a new baby.

Honest comparisons

Paper or app? We make the app, and we still tell you when paper wins.

How these guides connect to the app

The guides are free and complete on their own. ChoreTrack the app is what happens when you want the system to run itself: recurring chores that appear on the right day, rotation that keeps things fair between siblings, photo proof and an approval queue so 'done' means done, and Payday, which converts points into allowance at the rate you set. Free covers one household, up to 4 family members, and 15 chores. Premium is $6.99/month or $59.99/year after a 7-day free trial.
