. We often call a young child's pocket money an 'allowance'.
A question might be this: How much is your allowance? . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |

Hi Tom,
You could also say:
How much pocket money do you get?
I'm assuming that you refer to what a child would get from a parent.

Dear Alan
Your use of the word "assume" leads me to belive that the word pocket money is not very commn in England. But in Pakistan, it's really "rampant". Every good school has got rules on/ against pocket money. So almost all little children (myself included :D ) use this word very frequently.
That said, please see this:

So, can a teacher ask his student: In fact, I am more concerned abot the use of what and how much.

Hi Tom
I'd recommend sticking with Alan's sentence if you want to use 'pocket money': How much pocket money do you get? . _________________ "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." ~ Abraham Lincoln |
