Frequently Asked Questions

How should partners split revenue?

Common splits: 50/50 (equal effort), based on contribution (capital + sweat), or sliding (e.g., partner who brought deal gets 60% first year, 50/50 after). Always formalize in written agreement before any money flows. Verbal agreements cause permanent damage.

Should I structure as partnership or LLC?

LLC almost always (limited liability protection, tax flexibility). General partnerships expose all partners to unlimited liability. LLCs can elect partnership tax treatment for the same flow-through taxation. Worth the small extra setup cost for liability protection alone.

Why does this calculator split profit instead of revenue?

Splitting revenue lets a partner who consumes most of the cost base walk away whole while the partnership absorbs the loss. By netting operating expenses out first (net profit = revenue minus expenses) and then distributing in proportion to each contribution, every partner shares the cost burden in line with their stake.

Why does the calculator normalize the contributions instead of requiring them to sum to 100?

To make data entry easier. Whether you enter 40, 35, and 25 (which sum to 100) or 4, 3.5, and 2.5 (which sum to 10), the resulting split is identical because what matters is the ratio between the contributions, not the absolute values.

Can I use this calculator with two partners instead of three?

Yes. Simply leave partner 3's contribution at zero. The calculator will compute the split only between the two partners with nonzero values.
