Our older two get pocket money. They have a job chart each and if it's reasonably full of stickers at the end of the week they get their pocket money. They get a little bonus present if they have a full chart! They haven't really cottoned on to it being pay for specific jobs. And ds's jobs are mostly to do with homework, readers, piano practice etc. he does the bins each week, but thats the only 'chore' on there. The chart is probably more me wanting to get some sort of routine going for them and remembering stuff like brushing teeth in the morning, rather than just ticking off certain jobs, but im sure the charts will change as time goes on. They are asked to set the table and help tidy up etc without monetary reward. They got paid for raking up leaves at nana's the other day which was a nice surprise for them.

We are going by $1 for each year old they are. So ds gets $6 and dd $4. Ds banks $4 of that with the school banking each week. The rest is thrown into a money box. Neither of them ask for much so the money hasn't really been touched lol. So it's just savings really at the moment. If they ask for something big it'll be good for teaching them to save up for it.
