The Fair Rent Splitting Guide for Roommates

Splitting rent equally is the simplest method — but it's not always the fairest.

Room-size method: Calculate rent based on square footage of each bedroom plus a share of common areas.

Income-based method: Roommates pay proportionally to what they earn, making housing affordable for everyone.

Amenity method: Rooms with en-suite bathrooms, balconies, or parking spots carry a premium.

HomeCo's rent splitter calculates fair shares instantly based on whichever method your household chooses.
