How to Split Unequal Shared Costs Fairly

Not all shared costs should be split equally. The person with the biggest room should pay more rent. The one who streams 4K all day should chip in more for internet.

Use a fair-split framework: categorize expenses as shared (equal), usage-based (proportional), or personal (individual). HomeCo supports all three models.

Document every split decision so there's no confusion later. HomeCo's ledger shows exactly how each expense was divided and why.

Set up custom splits in HomeCo for each expense category. Change them anytime — the app recalculates everything automatically.
