How to read this: Equal split divides rent and shared costs evenly. Room-based pricing divides rent according to the room weights you set; utilities and other shared costs remain equal per person. Amounts are rounded to cents, with rounding pennies distributed proportionally so shares sum to the household total.
Example: For three housemates with $2,400 rent, $300 utilities, and $150 other shared costs, the equal split is $950 each. With room weights of 1, 1, and 1.5, rent is $685.72, $685.71, and $1,028.57; shared costs are $150 each, making estimated totals $835.72, $835.71, and $1,178.57. The one-cent rounding difference is assigned proportionally.
