A fair, envy-free way to split rent 10 ways
To split rent 10 ways fairly, price each of the 10 rooms separately instead of dividing the total into 10 equal shares, so nobody would rather swap into someone else's room at the rent that person pays.
Splitting rent 10 ways sounds simple — divide the total by 10 — but it rarely is. When 10 roommates share a home, the rooms are almost never equal: one is larger, one has an en-suite bathroom, one is quieter. Dividing the rent into 10 equal shares ignores those differences and usually leaves at least one person feeling they overpaid. This free calculator splits rent between 10 roommates fairly instead, pricing each room so that the result is envy-free.
Envy-free means that once the calculator decides who takes which room and what each of the 10 participants pays, nobody would rather swap into someone else's room at the rent that person is paying. The amounts always add up exactly to your total, to the cent.
To split rent 10 ways, enter the total, name the 10 rooms and the 10 participants, and let each person pick their preferred room as the prices adjust. It takes about two minutes, needs no account, and there is no tracking.
Ten is the largest group this handles, and it is where fairness stops being about feelings and starts being about arithmetic: at this size an equal split is almost certainly wrong for several people at once, not just the one in the worst room. Ten rooms also means ten different opinions about which room is worth what — which is precisely the input the calculator needs, rather than an obstacle to it.
