The survey used information from more than 350,000 children aged six to 17-years-old that use NatWest Rooster.
It found on average kids in the UK earn £9.13 per week, which is down slightly on 2023.
But children are earning more for chores, with a 7p increase for walking the dog and a 21p increase for mowing the lawn on average, compared to last year.
The amount children have saved over the year has also slumped, but gaming is still the most common thing to save for.
