How it works

How income-based expense splitting works

If one person earns 60% of the combined household income, the calculator assigns that person 60% of shared household costs. The 50/50 option simply divides the total equally.

The tool stays neutral about which approach is right for your household. It is a practical calculation, not financial advice or a legal agreement.
