How Points Work

Understanding the ChoreSplit point system

Points are the core currency in ChoreSplit. Earn them by completing tasks, spend them on rewards.

Earning Points

  • Complete a task — Earn the task's point value
  • Maintain streaks — Bonus points for consecutive days
  • Achievements — One-time bonus points for milestones

Point Values

Tasks have different point values based on difficulty:

Task Type Suggested Points
Quick & Easy 5-10 points
Medium Effort 10-20 points
Time-Consuming 20-50 points
Major Chores 50+ points

Spending Points

Points can be redeemed for family rewards:

  • Small rewards: 50-100 points
  • Medium rewards: 100-300 points
  • Big rewards: 300+ points

Point Balance

Your point balance shows:

  • Total earned: All points ever earned
  • Available: Points you can spend now
  • Spent: Points used on rewards

Tips

  • Points never expire
  • Parents set point values when creating tasks
  • Bonus points from streaks add up fast!

For Parents

Adjust point values to match your family's economy. If rewards are being earned too fast or slow, tweak task points accordingly.
