Frequently asked questions
- How do I split expenses fairly?
- The simplest fair method is an equal split: divide the total by the number of people. This calculator does that and lets you cover extra shares if you pay for someone else.
- What if shares aren't equal?
- Assign more shares to the person taking a larger portion, or split each cost category separately. Some households split by income or room size instead of evenly.
- Can I split multiple bills at once?
- Enter the combined total of all shared bills, or run the calculator once per bill. Keeping a consistent share basis lets you total everyone's contributions easily.
- Does this track who has paid?
- No. It calculates each person's portion only. For ongoing roommate accounting, record individual payments separately to keep a running balance.
