Frequently Asked Questions
Which split method is fairer?
By income spreads cost according to ability to pay, while even is the simplest. Many households combine both ideas, sometimes with room-size adjustments.
How does the by-income method work?
Each roommate pays the total rent times their income divided by the sum of all incomes, so higher earners pay a proportionally larger share.
What about different room sizes?
This tool does not weight by room size. To account for that, assign a price to each room first, then split any shared space among everyone.
Should I include utilities?
Add utilities to the rent total if you want one combined split, or run the utilities through separately using the same method.
