How it works
What the calculator is doing
Enter the total bill amount and choose how many people are sharing it.
Use equal mode for a clean per-person split, or switch to custom mode for percentage-based shares.
When custom shares do not total 100%, the calculator normalizes them so the full bill is still allocated.
Understanding your result
The equal split is useful as a baseline, even when the household decides to divide the bill differently. Custom percentages are most helpful when bedroom size, thermostat use, or time spent at home makes a simple equal split feel off.

FAQ
Common questions
Can I split the bill unequally?
Yes. Custom mode lets you enter simple percentage shares so the bill can be divided in a less-than-even way.
What if the custom percentages do not add up to 100%?
The calculator normalizes the shares so the full bill is still covered while keeping the same relative proportions.
Is this only for utilities?
No. It is built with utilities in mind, but the same split math can help with other shared household bills too.
