How Much To Charge Nephew Staying
37 Answers
My nephew moved in with me about a month ago and wants to pay for his keep.
He has only just got a job, (a fairly basic paying one), and I said we would discuss it after he had been working a month.
He's a very good lad; he buys all his own food, does his own cooking, washing and ironing, helps keep the house clean and is teaching me 'stuff' on the computer.
I am reluctant to charge him anything, (I am comfortably off) but he insists that he wants to contribute.
What would be a suggested amount?

I would put it in an account and when he says he has to save for a deposit
say - here you are I saved this for you
the av house anywhere seems to be around £500 a month
but in London - a room alone is around £800 to £1000

Not sure if anyone is still interested in this thread, but we sat down the other night and talked about it as he was insistent about paying.
I added up the cost of gas, electricity, water, and odds and ends eg loo paper etc, and divided it in two. It came to £70.00 a month. He wants to pay £80.00 a month so we have gone for that.
There is a bedsit nearby for £450.00 a month, with a shared toilet and shower, so I think we feel that this is something we are both happy with.
Perhaps I can use this money to help him with something in the future.
