Enter the total rent and your roommates to split rent and utilities four fair ways.
How this tool works: method and sources
- Equal: total rent divided by the number of roommates.
- Room square footage or income: each person pays the total rent times their share of the combined square footage or monthly income.
- Custom premiums: each person with a private bathroom or parking space pays the premium you set, and the rest of the rent is split equally.
- Amounts are rounded to the cent using a largest-remainder method, so the shares always add up to the exact total. Utilities can be split equally or by the same method.
- The state data in this tool was researched from primary sources (state codes and attorney general guides) and checked November 2026. Each result links the statute it uses. If a rule is marked not verified, the tool shows no number for it.
