Split by income
Enter the shared bills and each person's net income. The calculator gives what everyone pays: the same percentage of their income for each.
Everything is worked out in your browser: nothing is sent, nothing is kept.
How it is worked out
The household's net incomes are added up, then the shared bills are divided by that total: this gives the percentage everyone pays. Each person pays that percentage of their own income. Whoever earns more pays more, and everyone keeps the same proportion of what they earn.
With 1,400 € of shared bills, one income of 1,800 € and one of 3,200 €, the rate is 28 %: 504 € for the first, 896 € for the second. The calculation rounds to the cent and gives the cent left over to someone: the total paid always makes exactly the bills.

Questions
Is splitting by income fairer than 50/50?
When incomes are close, both come to almost the same. As the gap grows, 50/50 takes a larger part of the lower income. Splitting by income leaves everyone the same proportion of what they earn.
Income before or after tax?
Usually after: the net income, what arrives on the account. What matters is counting everyone the same way.
And when a salary changes?
The calculation is redone with the new income. In fleen, every bill keeps its split in percentages: you update it, and it applies from the next month.
Is a joint account needed?
No. Everyone can keep their own account and pay their share, or front some bills: fleen works out who owes what, and one transfer at the end of the month evens everyone out.
