How to Split Expenses Unevenly (And Fairly)
Not everything should be 50/50. Learn when and how to use proportional splitting for couples and groups.
Why not 50/50?
Strict 50/50 splits can burden the lower earner. Proportional splitting ensures both parties contribute a fair share of their disposable income.
How to Calculate
Total Income = Person A + Person B. If Person A earns 70% of the total, they pay 70% of the shared bills.
- Example: Income A is $70k, Income B is $30k.
- Split: A pays 70%, B pays 30%.
Conclusion
The best method is the one everyone agrees on. Communication is key.
