My kids have the opportunity to earn a buck per week per grade they are in (e.g. when in 2nd grade they could earn 2 bucks). As they get into higher grades, this will likely end up with a multiple. I don't pay them per chore, but pay them if they have contributed to the family and done a reasonable amount of chores (there are also non-monetary consequences involved with not doing chores).
I fully believe in the alienation of labor and will pay them directly for doing extra work beyond their chores (e.g. picking up the branches from the ground after I've trimmed the shrubbery into the shape of large dollar signs and swans and whatnot).

I see you decided to take my advice and not mention the "fashion industry camp" in Cambodia you send them to every summer. Wise move.
