On average, youngsters got £10.73 in pocket money per week, marking an increase of around 8 per cent from the £9.92 they were receiving per week typically in 2024, according to anonymised data from GoHenry.

Girls are receiving slightly more in weekly pocket money than boys, GoHenry's figures suggest. Girls typically receive around £10.81 per week compared with £10.63 for boys.

Not every region has seen an increase in average pocket money payouts. In London, for example, children were receiving £12.80 in 2024 but this year they have been receiving £10.31 on average.
