Formula Used
Weekly Allowance
Weekly Allowance = Monthly Allowance / 4.333 (for weekly payments)
Weekly Allowance = Monthly Allowance / 2 (for bi-weekly payments)
Weekly Allowance = Monthly Allowance (for monthly payments)
Weekly Savings
Weekly Savings = Weekly Allowance - Weekly Expenses
These formulas help you understand how your monthly allowance breaks down into weekly amounts and how your expenses affect your savings.
Worked Example
Let's say you receive $200 per month as pocket money. You spend $30 per week on snacks and transportation. Here's how the calculator would work:
- Monthly Allowance: $200
- Payment Frequency: Weekly
- Regular Expenses: $30 per week
Results:
- Weekly Allowance: $200 / 4.333 ≈ $46.20
- Weekly Savings: $46.20 - $30 = $16.20
This means you get about $46.20 each week, and after spending $30, you save $16.20 each week.
