Shared Expense
Split a shared expense between participants by share.
About Shared Expense
A shared expense is divided according to an agreed percentage share rather than evenly, so each participant pays proportionally. Different responsibility levels (rent by room size, utilities by usage) are cleanly captured by unequal percentage shares.

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 2 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.
