Three ways to split

• Equal: the simplest, and fair when the rooms are similar.
• By room size: the rent is priced per square foot. Each person pays for their own room, and the shared space is split equally.
• By income: each person pays the share of the rent that matches their share of the combined income. Common for couples.

Common questions

How do you split rent fairly when rooms are different sizes?

By room size: each person pays for their own room at the same price per square foot, and everyone shares the kitchen, living room and bathroom equally.

How should a couple split rent with different incomes?

In proportion to income. If one person earns 60% of the combined income, they pay 60% of the rent.
