How much allowance/pocket money do you give your teenager?

[UndertheCedartree]

Planning on starting to give my 13 yo DS an allowance to help him learn the value of money and budgeting. How much money do you give your teen and what do they have to spend it on? Do they have to do any jobs for the money or can they earn extra by doing jobs?

At 12 mine had £25 a month plus phone contract.
At 14, £55 including phone contract. Covers most things. Plus £50 spring and £100 autumn for clothes.
Year 11 £100 a month including phone contract. Covers everything except uniform and school stationery. Plus £50 spring and £100 autumn for clothes.

Mine have to do jobs, non-negotiable. I sometimes offer them extra jobs for extra money.
