Splitting bills as a couple: 50/50 or fair share? 💸
Alex takes home $4,550/mo. Sam takes home $3,300/mo. Shared bills: $2,660/mo.
50/50 = $1,330 each. That's 29% of Alex's pay but 40% of Sam's 😬
Fair share (by income): Alex $1,542, Sam $1,118. Both pay 34% of their pay.
Which do you two do? 👇
Our Couples Budget spreadsheet splits shared bills by income, 50/50 or a custom %, and shows each person's transfer per paycheck. Link in bio 🤍
(Example: take-home pay, all bills shared. Your numbers will differ.)
