How Is the Fair Share Calculated?

We aim to ensure harmony and equity in money matters, especially for couples with different incomes. Here's how the magic works:

Calculate Income Percentages:
- Your Income ÷ (Your Income + Partner's Income) = Your Contribution Percentage
Apply to Expenses:
- Multiply each expense by your percentage to find out your fair share.

Example:

You earn $60,000, and your partner earns $40,000.
Your Percentage: 60%
Partner's Percentage: 40%
For a $1,000 expense:
- You Pay: $600
- Your Partner Pays: $400

Why Is Proportional Splitting Fair?

Because it adjusts what each person contributes based on their income. It's all about keeping things balanced in love and money. But remember, "fair" is different for everyone. Feel free to split your expenses in a way that works best for both of you.

Does the Calculator Account for Deductions Like Insurance or Savings?

Currently, we use gross incomes for calculations. We know life can be a bit more complex with things like insurance deductions or savings. We're working on ways to include these in future updates to make the calculator even more helpful.
