allowance در ۳۰ ثانیه
- A regular sum of money given for personal expenses or specific tasks.
- The maximum amount or weight of something that is officially allowed.
- A tax-free portion of income or a government-provided benefit payment.
- The act of considering circumstances when judging someone's actions or performance.
The term allowance is a versatile noun that primarily describes a sanctioned amount of something—most commonly money, time, or physical weight—allocated for a specific purpose. In a domestic setting, it is the classic 'pocket money' parents give to children to teach financial responsibility. In a professional or travel context, it refers to the strict limits imposed by authorities or corporations, such as the baggage allowance on a flight or a per-diem meal allowance for a business trip. Beyond literal quantities, 'allowance' also functions as a psychological or social construct, where one 'makes allowances' for someone's behavior, essentially granting them a margin of error due to extenuating circumstances.
- Financial Allocation
- A sum of money paid regularly to a person, often a child or an employee, to cover specific expenses or as a reward for chores or labor.
The airline has a very strict 23kg checked baggage allowance for economy passengers.
When we look at the word through a technical lens, it represents a 'tolerance' or a 'margin.' In engineering, an allowance is the planned deviation from a standard measurement to ensure parts fit together correctly. In the world of taxation, a 'personal allowance' is the amount of income you can earn before you start paying tax to the government. This multifaceted nature makes it essential for B2 learners to distinguish between 'receiving' an allowance (money) and 'making' an allowance (forgiving a mistake).
- Permitted Limit
- The maximum amount of something that is legally or officially permitted in a specific situation.
He received a monthly allowance from his parents while he was studying at university.
Culturally, the concept of an allowance for children varies. In many Western cultures, it is seen as a tool for teaching the value of work and saving. Children might earn their allowance by doing the dishes or mowing the lawn. In a corporate environment, an allowance is often a benefit, such as a car allowance or a housing allowance, which adds value to a salary package without being part of the base pay. This distinction is crucial for understanding job offers and contracts.
The company provides a generous relocation allowance for employees moving from overseas.
- Social Consideration
- The act of taking into account mitigating factors when judging someone's performance or behavior.
We must make allowance for the fact that she has only been in the job for two days.
The tax allowance for individuals was increased in the latest government budget.
Using 'allowance' correctly requires understanding its role as a countable noun in most contexts and an uncountable noun in specific idiomatic expressions. When discussing money or limits, it is usually countable. For example, 'I have two different allowances: one for travel and one for food.' However, in the phrase 'make allowance for,' it acts more like a mass noun representing the concept of consideration.
- As a Direct Object
- The child spent her entire weekly allowance on a new video game within ten minutes.
You should check your baggage allowance before arriving at the airport to avoid extra fees.
The verb 'to allow' is the root, but 'allowance' carries a more formal and structured weight. You don't just 'allow' money; you 'grant' or 'provide' an allowance. In professional writing, 'allowance' is frequently paired with adjectives like 'generous,' 'meager,' 'fixed,' or 'daily.' These modifiers help define the scale and nature of the allocation.
- In Phrasal Contexts
- The judge made allowance for the defendant's youth and lack of prior convictions during sentencing.
The government announced a new fuel allowance for low-income families this winter.
In technical fields, 'allowance' describes the intentional space left between components. For instance, in carpentry, you might leave a small allowance for the wood to expand in humid weather. This usage is less common in daily conversation but vital for anyone in engineering, construction, or design. It signifies precision and foresight.
The architect included a 2mm allowance for thermal expansion in the bridge design.
- In Legal and Tax Terms
- Married couples can sometimes transfer part of their tax-free allowance to their partner.
The disability allowance helps cover the extra costs of living with a long-term condition.
You are most likely to encounter 'allowance' in three specific environments: the home, the airport, and the workplace. In the home, it’s a word associated with childhood milestones. Parents discuss how much allowance is appropriate for a ten-year-old versus a teenager. It’s a word linked to lessons about saving for a desired toy or learning that money is finite.
'If you don't clean your room, I'm docking your allowance this week!'
At the airport, 'allowance' is a word that causes stress. You’ll hear it over the intercom or see it in bold red letters on travel websites. 'Checked baggage allowance,' 'carry-on allowance,' and 'duty-free allowance' are the most common variants. Here, the word represents a boundary that, if crossed, results in a financial penalty. It’s a word of rules and regulations.
- Corporate Benefits
- In job interviews, recruiters might say, 'The salary is $50,000, plus a $5,000 car allowance.'
In the workplace, 'allowance' is part of the professional jargon regarding compensation and benefits. Companies provide allowances for travel, professional development, or even 'well-being' (e.g., a gym membership allowance). It sounds more formal than 'extra money' and implies a specific, audited use for the funds.
The HR department sent an email about the new work-from-home equipment allowance.
Finally, in literature or formal debate, you might hear 'make allowance for.' This is a sophisticated way of saying 'be understanding of.' A news commentator might say, 'We must make allowance for the volatility of the market when predicting future growth.' This usage elevates the conversation, moving from physical objects to abstract concepts of fairness and logic.
The teacher made allowance for the student's personal difficulties by extending the deadline.
One of the most frequent errors learners make is confusing 'allowance' with 'permission.' While they are related, 'permission' is the act of saying 'yes' to an action, whereas 'allowance' is the provision of a resource or the setting of a limit. You don't 'give an allowance' to go to the party; you 'give permission' to go. However, you might 'give an allowance' of $20 to spend at that party.
- Allowance vs. Pocket Money
- In British English, 'pocket money' is the standard term for children's funds, while 'allowance' is often used for more formal or adult contexts. In American English, 'allowance' is used for both.
Incorrect: My dad gave me an allowance to drive the car. (Correct: My dad gave me permission/allowed me to drive the car.)
Another common mistake involves the preposition used with 'make allowance.' Many learners say 'make allowance of' when they should say 'make allowance for.' The 'for' is essential because it indicates the reason or factor being considered. Forgetting the pluralization in 'allowances' when referring to multiple types of benefits is also a minor but noticeable slip-up.
In technical writing, failing to specify the unit of measurement for an allowance can lead to confusion. If you say 'the allowance is five,' does that mean five kilograms, five dollars, or five millimeters? Always provide the context. In financial contexts, don't confuse 'allowance' with 'salary.' An allowance is usually *in addition* to a salary or given to someone who does not have a salary (like a child or a student).
Confused: Is my allowance paid monthly? (Clarify if you mean tax allowance, travel allowance, or pocket money.)
Depending on the context, 'allowance' can be swapped with several synonyms, each carrying a slightly different nuance. 'Stipend' is a more formal term, usually referring to a fixed sum of money paid to a student or trainee. 'Budget' implies a planned amount of money to be spent, often by an organization or for a project, rather than a gift or limit.
- Allowance vs. Stipend
- An allowance is often for general needs; a stipend is usually a formal payment for living expenses during an internship or research program.
The PhD student received a monthly stipend to cover housing and food.
When talking about limits, 'quota' or 'ration' are alternatives. A 'quota' is a fixed number or percentage of something that is allowed or required (often in trade or hiring). A 'ration' is a fixed amount of a commodity (like food or fuel) allowed to each person during a time of shortage. 'Allowance' is softer than 'ration' and more general than 'quota.'
- Allowance vs. Tolerance
- In engineering, 'allowance' is the intentional difference between dimensions, while 'tolerance' is the permissible range of error.
The quota for imported cars was reached by mid-year.
In social contexts, 'concession' is a good alternative to 'making allowance.' A concession is something granted in response to a demand or to reach an agreement. If you 'make a concession' for someone, you are giving up a point or a rule to help them. 'Making allowance' is more about understanding the reason behind a failure, while 'making a concession' is a strategic move in a negotiation.

Summary
An allowance is fundamentally a 'defined limit' or 'allocation.' Whether it's the $10 a child gets for chores, the 20kg limit for a suitcase, or the patience shown to a tired friend, it always involves a specific boundary or provision. Example: 'The company provides a monthly travel allowance.'
- A regular sum of money given for personal expenses or specific tasks.
- The maximum amount or weight of something that is officially allowed.
- A tax-free portion of income or a government-provided benefit payment.
- The act of considering circumstances when judging someone's actions or performance.
Use the right preposition
Always use 'for' after 'make allowance'. For example: 'Make allowance FOR the rain.' Do not use 'to' or 'of'.
Professionalism
In a workplace context, use 'allowance' to describe perks like travel or housing costs. It sounds more formal than 'extra pay'.
Check the weight
Always check your 'checked baggage allowance' vs your 'carry-on allowance'. They are usually different weights.
Be empathetic
Using 'make allowance for' shows you are a thoughtful person who considers others' struggles.
مثال
When I was ten, my parents gave me a small weekly allowance for helping around the house.
