About Internet Bill Split Calculator

Weighted splitting handles the housemate who streams 4K all evening. Each heavy user counts as more than one share, the weights are summed, and the bill divided by the total — so the shares still add up exactly to the bill.

Formula

Weighted split

standard share = bill / (standard users + heavy users x (1 + premium)); heavy share = standard x (1 + premium)

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a weighted split worth the argument?

On a 42 bill the difference is a few pounds, so probably not. It matters more on metered connections or where one person works from home.

What if usage is genuinely equal?

Then split evenly. Weighting only makes sense when the difference is obvious and agreed.
