How to Split Rent Fairly
The fairest way to split rent is proportionally by room size. Measure each bedroom's square footage, calculate the percentage of total bedroom space, and apply that percentage to the total rent.
Three Methods for Splitting Rent
Equal Split
Total rent ÷ number of roommates. Simple, but only fair when rooms are identical.
By Room Size
Bigger room = higher share. Factor in closet space, natural light, and private bathrooms.
By Income
Each person pays a percentage of their income. Requires trust and transparency.
