How it works
Updated July 2026Common portion
The user-selected common portion represents shared/common value and is divided equally among all entered occupants.
Common amount per occupant = Common rent portion ÷ Total occupantsPrivate-bedroom portion
The remaining amount is allocated to bedrooms in proportion to entered private-bedroom area, then divided among occupants of that bedroom.
Bedroom portion = Private rent portion × Bedroom area ÷ Total bedroom areaExact-cent reconciliation
Largest-remainder allocation keeps every stage in integer cents. Displayed occupant amounts add to bedroom totals, and bedroom totals add to the entered rent.
