Frequently asked questions

How do I split utilities for different stays?

Enter actual occupancy days for shorter stays. Allocate costs by people times days. Count move-in but not move-out day. Agree separately on vacant-room costs.

What if I leave occupancy days blank?

Blank occupancy days mean the full period; a blank period defaults to 30 days. Equal stays split by occupancy. Days lived cannot exceed the billing period.

How do I enter several people in one room?

Use one group per room and enter its adults and children. Results show the room’s total; agree on any split within the group separately.

How are children counted?

Children under 1.2 m count as half an adult in this model. Use the child control; each group needs at least one occupant. Agree on a suitable rule together.

How many groups can I use?

Use 2–6 groups. Add a group with the button, or remove one using its delete control.

Can I split gas and internet bills?

Yes. Enter any total shared bill for the period. Agree separately on gas if only some people cook.

What about heavy air-conditioning use?

Meter unusually heavy air-conditioning use separately or agree on an extra contribution. Use this calculator for the remaining bill.

How are rounding remainders handled?

Amounts are rounded to cents. The largest group receives any rounding remainder so the total matches the bill. Approximate values use ≈.
