Three fair methods:
1. Equal split: Total expenses ÷ number of roommates. Simplest. Works when everyone earns similarly.
2. Income-based split: Each pays proportional to their income. Fairer when there is a big income gap.
3. Usage-based: Split rent by room size. Split utilities equally. Personal items are individual.
Pro tips: Use FinanceGuide Split Expense feature to track who paid what. Share the statement via WhatsApp. Set a monthly settle-up date. Keep a shared spreadsheet for transparency.
The key is agreeing on the method BEFORE moving in together.
