How the estimate is calculated
Rent and utilities are divided by the number of people.
Each line is rounded to the cent, so the shares can be a dollar off from the exact total.
Equal split
Each person’s share is rent divided by people, plus utilities divided by people.
Example
- Enter the full rent, not one person’s share.
- Add the utilities you plan to split.
- Set the number of people, including yourself.
With the numbers filled in on this page, the estimate is $1,290.00 per month.
What changes the result
Room size
A larger room is still charged the same here. Adjust by hand if you want a weighted split.
Who is on the lease
An equal split is not the same as who is legally responsible for the full rent.
Utilities
Use the utility cost calculator if you want to build that monthly number first.
Questions
Can I split three ways?
Yes. Set people to 3 or any number up to 12.
Why might the shares not add up exactly?
Each share is rounded to the nearest cent.
Does this handle a couple sharing one room?
Only if you count each person. It does not know rooms.
