Free Chore Chart Maker for the Whole Family weekly, rotating and allowance charts

Yes. You can make, download and print as many charts as you like without an account or email address, and the PDF and PNG files have no watermark.

No. The chart is drawn in your browser. Names, chores and amounts are not sent to PrintMigo or stored on a server.

Type each child's name on its own line (up to 6), assign every chore to a child and turn on Group rows by person. Each child then gets a colour and their own block of rows. Use the 'Chore Chart for 3 Kids' template as a starting point; a chart holds up to 12 chores, so 3 or 4 per child fits on one page.

Choose the Rotating layout, list the chores and the people, and pick 2 to 8 weeks. Each week every chore moves to the next person on the list. With the same number of people and chores, everyone does every job once in a full cycle.

Roughly: ages 2–3 put toys away and clothes in the hamper; 4–5 feed pets and set the table; 6–7 sweep and put away their own laundry; 8–9 load the dishwasher and take out trash; 10–12 do laundry and clean the bathroom; teens cook meals and run errands. These lists follow AACAP, AAP (HealthyChildren.org) and University of Arkansas Extension guidance, and you can add each list in one tap above.

Experts disagree. Some, like Dave Ramsey, pay a commission only for chores that are done; others, like author Ron Lieber, keep allowance separate from everyday family jobs. A common middle way is unpaid family chores plus paid extra jobs. The value column lets you mark both, and the '$1 per year of age per week' rule is a rule of thumb, not research.

There is no official number. The AAP advises adding one new task at a time. Many families start with two or three short daily chores for preschoolers and add bigger weekly jobs, such as vacuuming or laundry, from about age 8.

The AAP describes a chore chart as a visual reminder that keeps everyone in the family on task. Charts work best when chores are specific, the child can do them alone and you check the chart together at a set time each week.

Yes. Pick US Letter (8.5 × 11 in) or A4 (210 × 297 mm), portrait or landscape. Print at 100% or Actual size. Monthly charts are always landscape so all 31 days fit.

It depends. Apps such as OurHome, Greenlight or BusyKid send reminders and handle allowance on a phone, and some cost a monthly fee. A printed chore chart costs nothing, needs no device and is visible to young children on the fridge, but it does not remind anyone or keep history.
