In the UK, a payment from parents to children made on a regular basis is typically called 'pocket money.' However, such a term is normally applied only to younger children. An older teenager may feel a little more mature if they are granted 'a weekly allowance.' Of course, an allowance would also probably be a slightly larger payment than pocket money. In a very formal family such as the Royal family perhaps, a more official term may be applied such as: 'Personal expenditure allowance.'
There is difference between a child's allowance and a company allowance. A child's allowance (US English) or pocket money (British English) is a small amount of money given to a child by its parents, typically on a regular basis, and sometimes given on the basis that household chores are completed.
An employee allowance is a small amount of money given by employers to employees to cover small expenses, such as those needed to pay for travel, or office equipment. Usually, receipts for all purchases made must be returned to the company.

Spending money and pocket money, for a child, are different. If you receive spending money from your parents, you are receiving money that you did not earn. The money that you earn is usually called "pocket money." Children earn this money through doing chores like washing dishes and cutting grass.
However, if an adult gets an allowance from work, then it is given so that they can buy something with it that they need for company use.

Pocket money is what we call the money that is given to children from their parents to spend as they like. Some children spend it straight away on things they love while others save it for another time or for something that costs a lot of money that they want to buy in the future
