Receiving an allowance is one of the main things that sets sugar relationships apart from traditional relationships.. 

A sugar baby allowance is a term used to describe a mutually agreed-upon financial arrangement between a sugar baby and a sugar daddy or sugar mommy. The allowance is meant to provide financial support to the sugar baby in exchange for their time, companionship, and intimacy which could often be of a sexual nature.

Before anything, it is important to understand that the allowance is not determined based on a sugar baby’s superficial characteristics such as their appearance, age, body type, etc. The amount is set based on the amount of effort, time, and attention that the sugar baby is willing to offer the sugar daddy or mommy.

Of course, this varies from one relationship to another, but it’s ultimately about finding a sweet spot that all parties are comfortable with. 

Setting an allowance can be tricky business. So in this blog, we’ll talk about the different types of allowances, what you can expect, and tips on navigating the sugar baby lifestyle so you can get the most out of your experience.

Types of sugar baby allowances

Since there are different types of arrangements when it comes to sugar relationships, the “right amount” of sugar baby allowance also varies. Get to know the different types of allowances here:

1. Monthly Allowance: This is the most traditional type of allowance, where the sugar daddy or sugar mommy pays the sugar baby a fixed amount each month. It’s the most common type of arrangement for long term sugar relationships.

The amount can range from $1,000 to $5,000 a month or more – the allowance is negotiated before the relationship begins based on factors like number and type of dates, the dynamic of the relationship, and sometimes even according to the location. 

For instance, a sugar baby in the suburbs may expect a lower allowance than sugar babies in big cities due to varying cost of living. 

 

2. Pay-Per-Meet Allowance (PPM): In this type of arrangement, the sugar baby is paid an agreed upon amount for each meeting with the sugar daddy or sugar mommy. They’re commonly seen in sugar relationships in metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles or San Francisco. 

This is because some sugar daddies/mommies like to date/meet multiple sugar babies at once. Similarly, some sugar babies may also date several daddies/mommies at a time so this arrangement makes the most sense.

This option is also suitable for the first few dates when getting to know each other before deciding on a monthly allowance if both parties choose to enter a long-term relationship. Plus, this arrangement may be better at helping sugar daddies/mommies keep track of their spending. 

 

3. Gift Allowance: Although not-so popular these days, there are sugar babies who don’t care for the usual monetary allowance and only want life’s finest luxuries from their sugar daddy/mommy.

These types of sugar babies enjoy being spoiled with lavish dates at Michelin starred restaurants, attending exclusive parties with the elite crowd, and receiving gifts such as designer handbags, shoes, you name it!

Benefits of this arrangement is that you’ll be able to find a daddy/mommy easily since there’s less commitment. So if you’re just in it for the bling-bling every now and then, a gift allowance could just be what you’re looking for.

 

4. Commission-Based Allowance: This sort of arrangement is more commonly seen in the “sugar baby” escort business, and it’s where the sugar baby receives a commission for every sugar daddy/mommy they meet. 

 

PPM vs. Sugar Baby Allowance

Seasoned sugar babies will tell you that the PPM method is most ideal, as you get paid immediately after the first date. Being handed a wad of cash after a romantic date may seem… unromantic, but most experienced sugar babies don’t mind this. This is because getting paid upfront makes it less likely that the meeting is a scam.

The PPM method works for both sugar partners especially during the first few meetings. For sugar daddies/mommies, it’s a chance to get to know the sugar baby before becoming financially obliged to provide an allowance. Then, when you feel comfortable and trust each other, you can gradually transition to a sugar baby allowance type of arrangement.

Here’s the awkward part – when is the right time to bring up switching from a PPM to a sugar baby allowance with your sugar parent? We suggest bringing it up when you have your wealthy suitor’s undivided attention. For instance, once you’ve passed the two-date mark and have more meetings planned after that, this is a good sign that you’ve got your daddy/mommy hooked. This usually means that they enjoy your company and want to have you around more often, which makes it perfect timing to discuss an allowance. 

After a couple of dates, you’ll also be able to tell if you’re having a good time, if the relationship is something that you want, and if your sugar parent is someone who will treat you well and pay up.

Guides For Sugar Baby Allowance

 

How much should you pay your sugar baby?

There’s really no fixed rule for setting sugar baby allowances, but there are some factors that you can consider to help you come up with a good number. 

  • Location plays a big role in determining your sugar baby’s allowance. Like salaries, sugar babies in big cities have a higher allowance average than rural areas. For example if you live in New York or Los Angeles, your average allowance could go up to $5,000 or more!

  • The type or dynamic of the relationship is another thing to consider. If your arrangement involves your sugar baby spending a lot of time and giving you their undivided attention, then they deserve a good allowance. Sugar babies with fascinating backgrounds or particularly interesting personalities also tend to get paid more.

  • If you’re a sugar baby with specific restrictions, like if you don’t usually like to travel but your daddy wants you to visit him in another location, you can ask for more allowance if you are okay to accommodate their request. 

Nevertheless, it’s also usually up to the sugar daddy/mommy’s generosity. Some are super generous, while some may be more conservative at spending. Sure, some allowances can go up to tens of thousands of dollars. 

While these do exist, it’s unlikely that you’ll find an arrangement like this right away, unless you’re really lucky! It’s important to note that while sugar parents are often wealthy people, not all of them possess unlimited resources. 

 

What to expect for sugar baby allowance?

A rule of thumb when it comes to sugar baby allowances is to charge an amount that can cover all your monthly expenses, plus a little more for extra spending money. This is why location matters, since most metropolitan areas have high living expenses (rent, food, etc.)

Communicating openly and honestly about your objectives, boundaries, and comfort levels is crucial before entering into an allowance arrangement. Keep in mind that the sugar bowl isn’t for everyone. While some people appreciate the extra cash and independence, others view the arrangement as exploitative. Make sure that you fully understand and agree to the terms of the agreement before entering into a relationship.
