📘 About the Rent Split Calculator

Splitting rent equally feels simple but is unfair when rooms differ. A common method splits the shared-space part of the rent equally and the rest by bedroom size.

Couples with different incomes often split by income instead, so each pays the same share of their pay.

🧮 Formula

Room split
rent × shared % ÷ people + rent × (1 − shared %) × room ÷ total rooms

❓ Frequently asked questions

What is the fairest way to split rent?

By room size plus equal shares of common areas, adjusted for extras like a private bathroom or parking.

Either 50/50 or in proportion to income, so both keep a similar share of their pay.

Should utilities be split the same way?

Usually equally, since everyone uses them, unless usage is very different.

How do I account for a private bathroom?

Add its area to that person's room size, or add a fixed premium.
