Four steps to real money skills

1

Complete a task

A lesson, a Street Smart quiz, a budgeting challenge, or a real chore you've set yourself.

2

Get approved

You review the work and give the go-ahead โ€” that's what creates their payslip.

3

See their payslip

Gross pay, simulated tax and net pay โ€” shown in a familiar payslip format. No real money moves through My First Payslip.

4

See it split into pots

Their simulated pay splits automatically across four pots: Tax & Community, Responsibilities, Dream Fund, and Wallet โ€” a simple structure for saving, spending and giving.

Street Smart: money lessons for real life

Kids need to know how money works in the real world, not just how to earn it. Street Smart is our set of real-life money quizzes, so they can spot the traps before they fall for them.

Scam Spotter

Learn the red flags before they get you.

Game Money Traps

Robux, V-Bucks, loot boxes... what's really going on?

Subscriptions and Free Trials

Small monthly payments add up. Learn to stay in control.

Budget Challenges

Make the choices and see what happens, with no real money at risk.

Selling and Side Hustles

Sell on Vinted or eBay (with a parent) and learn what profit really means.

Your First Job and Pay

Minimum wage, payslips and your rights at work.

Street Smart sits alongside the lessons, quizzes and real payslips, so your child learns to earn, save and spend wisely.

Not just pocket money tracking

Most apps just track what your child spends. MyFirstPayslip connects earning to effort โ€” kids do the work, then experience exactly how tax, saving, and spending actually function in the adult world.

You're always in control. Set your own tasks, choose your own pay amounts, and approve everything before their simulated payslip is created. Any real pocket money is entirely up to you, in whatever way suits your family.

Common questions

Can I adjust the pay per task?

Yes, you can set a custom amount when you assign the task to your child. This must be done before assigning it; once given to your child, the amount is locked in.

What is Street Smart?

Street Smart is our set of real-life money quizzes for older children and teens. Topics include spotting scams, in-game spending traps, subscriptions and free trials, budgeting, selling second-hand, saving versus borrowing, and your first job. Your child completes them as tasks, you approve them, and they're paid like any other task. It's included in your family plan.

Does My First Payslip transfer real money?

No. My First Payslip doesn't transfer any money. The payslip and four pots are a realistic simulation, helping your child understand how tax affects take-home pay. If you'd like to give or transfer real pocket money, that's entirely up to you, in whatever way suits your family.

What age is this suitable for?

MyFirstPayslip covers ages 5 to 17, with lesson difficulty and pay amounts adjusted automatically for each age band.

Is my child's data safe?

Yes, children log in with a private PIN and family code, not a public account. We never sell data or show ads to children.

Can siblings see each other's results or pay?

No, each child has their own private PIN, so their tasks, results, and pay are only visible to them and the parent.

Can I set my own tasks?

Yes, as the parent you can set a physical task such as tidying their bedroom, washing up, or emptying the bins, or a learning task such as reading for 30 minutes, practising their French, or doing their times tables.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes, your subscription can be cancelled at any time from your account settings, no minimum term.

How much does it cost?

ยฃ3.99/month for the whole family, with a free 7-day trial to start.

What happens to our data if we cancel?

Your family and child information is kept for 60 days after cancelling, in case you'd like to come back, and is then permanently deleted unless you ask us to delete it sooner.

Built with your child's privacy in mind
