Using your Rooster card
Remind yourself about Rooster
Pick a card, any card.
Making choices is a big part of growing up.
Even if your child already has a Rooster Card, they can pick from our trio of free designs, or you could upgrade to something a bit special like a cat or a games controller.
(Some card designs are subject to availability and may incur a cost)

The Pocket Money Index 2024-2025
If you’re interested in how and when other parents pay pocket money, we have the going rate from 350,000 Rooster Card kids. Kids received on average £3.85 each week (although age is a big factor). Over a third of kids (34.8%) only get pocket money for getting chores done, which they record in the Rooster Money app – that’s one way of motivating them to keep their room tidy.
