How much if any rent/keep do you charge your adult earning children?

Just that.

This actually works out a rent for you and breaks down the cost of food, rent, electricity etc so if they quibble about what you are asking you can show them what you could charge.

Ah thanks that's perfect

Before I moved out in 2013, I was paying £120 a month to my parents

DS lives alone in a flat we own and pay everything for because he’s a full time student.
When he gets a job the bills and council tax on the flat will be his responsibility. +/-€150 a month.
During lockdown I worked out you can eat well, no scrimping, on €6 a day. So €180 a month.
So living at home and sharing bills I’d ask a working adult for €200/250 a month, especially if laundry, cooking, pay-TV and cleaner services were included!
That would be £160-200.

Wow, I just used that calculator and it came back at £587! I'd charge that of a lodger but not my DC. Useful to know the tool exists though.

Blimey just tried the link above...I could charge my son £626 a month!! Think he is getting away lightly only paying £80...

Dd1 is nearly 27. I charge her £50 a week.

According to the link above I could be charging her £750! Hmmmm..... 😄

I think it hugely depends on your circumstances and there is no definitive right or wrong.

I was charged £500 p/m when I moved back in with my mother for a few months at the age of 21

Ds pays 350. He offered twice that.
But he’s saving to buy so we said no.

My stepson didn't live with us for long when he started work but we told him we wouldn't charge him anything on the assumption he saved for his own place. He did his own laundry (since he was 16) and let us know if he was in for dinner but he was fairly self sufficient. Other than food he didn't cost us anything. He eventually moved in to a shared flat.

DS lived with us after graduating or 6 months. Nothing. He moved back in when he did his masters and worked part-time. He has lived here since but would have moved had it not been for Covid. Starting a PhD in September.

We haven't charged. Partly because he is thrifty and saves but mostly because don't need it.

He has been on £35k this year so probably clears about £2,300. I reckon his food comes to about £50pw and £100 towards bills would be reasonable, so £300.

My son pays £150. No need to charge him more as he saves the remainder of his pay. He is very frugal/mean!

Wow £863 I should charge DS.. He pays 200, and saves a bit.. God I want him to be able to move out if I charged him 863 he'd never be able to leave!!

According to that calculation £752.08 !

My DS is waiting to go into his 3rd Year University .
Works P/T (fast food retail)

He saves every penny he earns , occasionaly buys himself a game for his XBox .
We don't charge him anything , we pay his travel, bed/board
He has Student Finance for his fees .

He is grateful , he does realise that a lot of his student mates do pay rent .
If he'd gone to University Residence he'd have to get a job to cover bills , but he's happy living at home and travelling in.

I will miss him when he leaves but I know how tough it'll be out there for him.

(I am so going to show him that comparethemarket link )
