PayGrade: Allowance Calculator isn’t a reward system. It’s a simple, customizable tool to help parents decide how much money to give their children, based on a rational, structured framework tied to school grades. If you believe that (1) kids need to learn about money, (2) they must have real money to do so, and (3) that some fair method must be used to determine what they receive, PayGrade gives you the mechanism to do exactly that. You can assign dollar values to each grade, scale the values by age or year, and factor in grade changes over time. The app doesn’t judge, praise, or punish—it just calculates a consistent, parent-defined allowance based on academic performance. You control every variable. PayGrade simply does the math.
