Tips for an accurate result
Revisit the numbers as circumstances change — a rate or budget that was fair last year may not be this year.
Revisit shared arrangements at natural checkpoints (a new school year, a birthday) rather than waiting for a dispute to prompt it.
Write down the agreed rate or rule right after calculating it — memory of an exact number fades faster than expected.
Keep a simple record of what was agreed and when, especially for anything recurring like allowance or chore credit.
