Roommate Rent Split Calculator (2–6 People, Optional Income Weight)

Shared housing is rent plus utilities, then a rule for who pays what. Equal split divides the total by the number of people. Income-weighted split charges each person total × (their income ÷ sum of incomes you fill in). Unused roommate slots stay blank. This is a fairness sketch, not a lease.

How this calculation works

Total = rent + utilities. Pick 2 to 6 people. Equal mode: each share = total ÷ people (shown on every filled slot).

Income mode: enter incomes for person 1…N. Share i = total × income_i / (income_1 + … + income_N). If every income is 0, the calculator falls back to equal so you do not get zeros.

Leave extra income boxes at 0 when you have fewer than six people — they are ignored. Person 4–6 shares hide when you selected fewer people.

Room size, parking, and “I WFH so I use more electricity” are not in the formula. Adjust by agreement after you see the numbers.

Worked example

Rent 2,100 + utilities 180 = 2,280. Three people equal → 760 each. Incomes 4,000 / 3,000 / 1,000 → shares 1,140 / 855 / 285.

Frequently asked questions

Should the person with the big room pay more?
Often yes, but this tool does not know room size. Split by income or equal, then add a room premium by hand.
What counts as utilities?
Whatever you dump in that box: electric, gas, water, internet, trash. Or put internet in rent if it is billed that way.
Couples as one person?
If they share one “slot,” set people to the number of paying units, not bodies. Or give the couple a combined income in one slot.
Deposits and last month’s rent?
Not included. Split those one-off amounts with the same percents if you want.
Is income-weighted fair?
It is one fairness rule (ability to pay). Equal is another (same roof, same share). Talk it through; a calculator cannot referee.
Are incomes stored?
No. Everything stays in the browser.
