Allowance

An allowance teaches money habits best when it is steady, visible and fair. Kinnomy pays it on schedule into each child’s wallet, split into jars, and keeps a clear record of every coin in and out.

Owners and adults open Tasks and chores, then Allowance. Choose the child, the amount, how often (weekly, every 2 weeks or monthly) and the day. Then set the jars: spend, save and give. They start at 70, 20 and 10 percent, and you can change them.

On each pay day the allowance goes into the wallet, split across the jars. If a pay day was missed, it catches up. This is one of the automations, on every plan, and it can be switched off.

Give a chore a Pay amount. When a child or teen finishes it, the money goes into their spend jar. This is an automation too.

1. A child picks Ask to spend, with an amount and a note, up to what is in their spend jar.
2. An adult sees the request waiting and says Yes or No.
3. A yes takes the money out of the jar. A no leaves it where it was.

With notifications on, adults hear about a new request right away.

Adults can add money to any jar, like a birthday gift from Grandma, or make an adjustment with a note.

Each child sees their own wallet, and Home shows their balance. Owners and adults see every wallet.

Ask “How much has Theo saved?” and the Brain answers from the wallet, jar by jar.

Kinnomy keeps track of the allowance. It does not hold or move real money, and it does not connect to a bank. The cash stays wherever your family keeps it.

Kids’ allowance is on every plan, including Free.
