Use bedroom size as the baseline
A common starting point is to split the bedroom portion of rent by private bedroom square footage. This is most useful when room size is the main difference.
For an area-only method, use the square-footage rent split calculator.
Add only visible premiums or discounts
Private bathrooms, parking, storage, light, privacy, noise, or awkward layout can be handled as fixed adjustments. Keep the list short and visible so the group can review each assumption.
The uneven rooms calculator is built for this broader scenario.
Use a focused calculator when one scenario dominates
If one bedroom is clearly the primary room, use the master bedroom calculator. If bathroom access is the main difference, use the private bathroom calculator.
Keep the result reviewable
The goal is not to prove one fixed answer. The goal is to show a clear split based on assumptions that roommates can accept, adjust, or discuss separately.
