Another day, another allowance survey.
A 2025 Wells Fargo survey reports that the average weekly allowance parents pay kids is $37.
A 2025 StudyFinds survey says children receive about $119 per month on average.
A 2024 T. Rowe Price survey found the average weekly allowance across respondents was $19.39.
Hot take: allowance surveys are completely useless.
The amount of allowance Parent A pays their child is meaningless for Parent B.
Why?
