One of the most common questions we get here at Ellevest is how to split expenses with a partner. There are plenty of different ways to do it, so we can’t tell you what will work best for you … but we can help you think through the options as you and your partner try to land on an approach that feels right.
This worksheet focuses on two ways to go about it: First, our favorite approach, is splitting expenses proportionally based on how much of the household income each person earns. The second approach is a good old-fashioned 50/50 split.
