I was reading a post recently by a father of a 9 year old. As the kid was angling for a trip to the Five Below store to blow his monthly allowance, the dad was wondering aloud whether there was a correlation between sales spikes in discount stores and allowance pay days for kids.
This got me wondering too. When do most parents dole out allowance?
I took a quick (anonymous1) look at our real-life data, and here are the stats for FamZoo families:
- Almost 80% of FamZoo allowances are delivered weekly while around 20% are delivered monthly. Just over 1% are annual (typical of, say, a clothing allowance).
- The most popular day to deliver allowance is Sunday. After that, it’s pretty evenly distributed with Monday, Friday, and Saturday getting the slight edge over Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
