New research says the average pocket money kids are given each week is £6.09 in England and £6.37 in Scotland.
We want to know how much you're given, and if you think it's enough.
Do you save it up, or spend it as soon as you can?

 I get £2.50 a week which I suppose is okay. I don't do any work but I have to be 'good' or else my mum cancels my money. Lucy, 11, Greater London
I don't get pocket money at all but I think its good coz it teaches me how to save my birthday money!
Kesley, 12, Alton
I get £40 a month and I don't do anything for that but I do have to buy money for my phone!
Sammy, 13, Hereford
I get £5 a week if I keep my room tidy. I think that's ok cos most of my friends get less.
Gareth, 12, Essex
I get £5 a week for pocket money. I think that's enough for me because if I got any more I would just spend it on things I don't really need.
Sarah, 14, Glasgow
I get £5 each week but then I save it up. I think that's enough for me.
Sarah, 12, Somerset
My friend gets £5 a week for nothing at all and I have to do chores all week for £2.50. I reckon you should be getting about £2.50.
Rhianne, 10, Ruishton
I don't get any pocket money but I always wash up the dinner things.
Tiffany, 12, Great Yarmouth
I get £1.20 a week.
It depends on our age, most of the time my parents forget to give it me. Emma, 12, Sheffield
I get £2.50 a week, but if I help my mum around the house I get another couple of pounds.
Jenny, 10, Offerton
I do a paper round, I get around £10-00 a week but as Christmas is coming I get more money. I like doing a job rather that getting pocket money off my parents.
Luke, 13, Birmingham
I get £10.00 a month which I think is alright.
It's only £2.50 a week but it is enough for me.
Lauren, 10, St Helens
I get £2.50 a week from my grandparents and £1.50 from my dad. I think this is about right if you help a bit.
Iain, 11, Ealing
I get £3 a week but if I want an extra pound I have to wash the car.
Jennifer, 13, Glasgow
I find that the more pocket money I get, the more responsibility I get. At the moment I get £30 a month, but I have to pay for clothes and things my self. It teaches me how to handle my money properly and not to blow it all at once.
Eddie, 13, Bury
I get money for helping my mum and used some of it to see Harry Potter-it was well worth the jobs I did!!
Helen, 12, Belfast
I don't get any pocket money at all but I don't mind! I don't even like sweets much!
Victor, 11, London
I get £5 a week but I have to wash the car with my Dad. I think that's fair because he doesn't have to give me the money.
James, 11, Salford
