Earned, not given.
Every other allowance app pays your kid for showing up.
Most allowance apps work like participation trophies. Complete a chore, get paid, whether you got straight A's or barely passed.
Your kid learns that money appears on a schedule. Not that a higher skill level earns a higher rate.
HomeWork fixes that.
How HomeWork's grade-linked pay rate works
-
Set your kid's grade-linked pay rate
Grades go in. Pay rates come out. An A earns more per hour than a B. You set the scale and HomeWork does the math.
-
Assign timed tasks
Every chore gets a time value. HomeWork multiplies completed time by the current pay rate and calculates pay automatically.
-
Post open tasks for sibling competition
Have a task anyone can grab? Post it as open. Kids can claim it, race to complete it, and earn without being chased.
Everything the pay rate mechanic needs to work.
-
Grade-linked pay rates
Set a pay scale tied to grades. Better grades mean a higher hourly pay rate on every task they complete.
-
Time-based task pay
No more guessing what a chore is worth. Give every task a time value and HomeWork calculates pay automatically.
-
Open task board
Post a task and any kid in the household can claim it. First to finish earns the pay.
-
Family dashboard
Every task, every pay rate, and every payout in one view. Nothing gets paid without your approval.
-
Multi-child support
Every child has their own grade-linked pay rate and earning history. Fairness is structural, not negotiated.
What changes when your kid sees the rate table.
Most parents describe the same moment.
They open HomeWork, show their kid the rate table, and watch them do the math. Then comes the question: "So if I get a better grade, I make more on every chore?"
That conversation doesn't happen with flat-rate chore apps because no other app makes the grade-to-pay-rate connection visible in dollar terms.

HomeWork FAQ: Grade-linked allowance app for families
What makes HomeWork different from other allowance apps?
HomeWork is the only allowance app that ties a child's grades directly to their hourly pay rate. Better grades mean a higher rate on every task they complete.
How does the grade-linked pay rate work?
Parents set the pay scale and HomeWork applies it. Better grades earn a higher pay rate, every chore gets a time value, and the app calculates pay automatically.
What if my kid's grades are bad right now?
That is exactly when to start. HomeWork shows kids in dollar terms what a higher grade is worth per hour before any lecture from a parent.
Does HomeWork link to a bank account?
No. HomeWork is a tracking and accountability system, not a fintech product. No bank account linking required.
What is an allowance app for kids?
An allowance app connects chores to pay by tracking what kids do and what they earn. HomeWork goes further by tying the pay rate to grades.
