Divide household chores fairly between housemates or partners.
Splitting chores by headcount is unfair when the household includes people at different life stages, so this uses share units instead: each adult counts as one unit and each teenager as a fraction — 0.6 is a reasonable default for someone with school and homework. Divide the total chore hours by the sum of units and you get the adult share, with the teen share scaled down proportionally. The daily figure is the one worth quoting in a household discussion, because a weekly total sounds negotiable while fifty minutes a day is concrete. The harder input is the total itself: households routinely underestimate it because invisible work — planning, scheduling, remembering — never gets logged.
Household Chore Split
Share units = adults + teens x teen factor; adult hours = total hours / share units; teen hours = adult hours x teen factor; daily minutes = adult hours x 60 / 7
Around 12-18 hours a week for a family of four in a typical home, more with young children or pets. Log a week honestly before assuming — the first estimate is nearly always low.
Hours for fairness, tasks for practicality. Allocate whole recurring tasks that add up to each person's hour target, so nobody is tracking minutes and everyone owns something end to end.
