$2,000 split 4 ways
$2,000 ÷ 4 = $500.00. That is $6,000.00 a year per person.
Split by room size
Bedrooms are rarely the same. With rooms of 180, 150, 130, 110 square feet, splitting $2,000 by size gives $631.58 for the 180 sq ft room, $526.32 for the 150 sq ft room, $456.14 for the 130 sq ft room, $385.96 for the 110 sq ft room. Enter your own rooms below; many groups split common areas equally and only weight the bedrooms.
Utilities and extras
Shared bills such as internet and electricity are usually split equally on top of rent. Use the extra field for a private bathroom or parking spot: the calculator takes it out first, splits the rest, then adds it back to that person.
Three ways to split rent
Equally is simplest: divide the rent by the number of people. It works when rooms are similar and everyone earns about the same. By income is fairest when earnings differ: each person pays their share of the combined income. By room size charges more for the bigger bedroom. You can mix any of them with a fixed extra or discount per person.
Example: $2,400 rent, three roommates
Split equally, everyone pays $800. Split by income with $5,000, $3,000 and $4,000 take-home pay, they pay $1,000, $600 and $800, because the first person earns 41.7% of the household total. Add $100 for the person with the private bathroom and the other two share the remaining $2,300.
Splitting utilities and shared bills
Electric, gas, water and internet are usually split equally because everyone uses them. Add the monthly total in the shared bills box and choose how to split it. If a bill changes each month, use your average and settle the difference at the end of the quarter.

How do I split rent by income?
Each person pays rent × (their income ÷ everyone's combined income). With $2,400 rent and incomes of $5,000, $3,000 and $4,000, the shares are $1,000, $600 and $800. Use each person's take-home or gross income, but use the same one for everyone.
How do I split rent by room size?
Measure each bedroom in square feet and pay rent × (your room ÷ all rooms combined). Common areas like the kitchen and living room are usually shared equally, so some people split bedrooms by size and keep a fixed share for common space using the extra field.
