I'll say somewhere along $10 a week [give or take]. Assuming this kid hasn't got a job.
-
Zero unless it's one of the few states they can't work in. Then I would say 10-20 dollars a week depending on how responsible they are and how much they do around the house.
-
$10 per week

That depends. How much opportunity does he have to earn money elsewhere? How much does he need to pay for his own cell phone usage, school fees and clothes, activities with friends, etc.? How much work does it do around the house? It needs to be high enough to meet his obligations, low enough he has to plan and budget, and it should be reflective of actual contributions he is actually making to the family and household.

Make them go do odd jobs and earn their own money.

It depends on what expenses they are expected to meet. If you expect them to buy their own school supplies, lunches, and clothes, you need to make it a larger amount. If it's just for DVD's, video games, and movies, then a smaller amount. When teaching teens about money management, get them involved in the discussion about how much they will need and what they will do with it. You will find a lot of very good articles in the "How to Articles" section at the bottom of this page. click on the link and type "determine teen allowance" in the search box. Several articles there contain sample budget plans.

Depends on what kind of work they're doing. I'd say that 5$ a week for basic chores. Possibly less.
-
at least $20 a day if nobody is feeding them meals at home!
-
Well if Im the parent, $5. If Im the teen, $20 or more.
-
I would give them nothing for doing their share of household chores. If they make a deal to do more work, then maybe $5-10 a week. If they are 15 maybe it's time to get a job. There are all kinds of odd jobs out there.

Moms/dads aren't paid for doing the wash, cooking, and transporting kids around. Dads/moms aren't paid for mowing the yard, washing the car, fixing the toilet...I do not believe kids should be paid for contributing to the day-to-day functioning of a family. At 15 they don't have many ways to make money for themselves, so they do need to have some way to meet expenses. Maybe a $5 base and then extra for extra work around the house.If they get more than that, it should be clear what they will pay for... clothes, lunches, entertainment, etc. The sooner they learn how to manage money, the better.It will serve them well in adulthood.
