Guide
Living with roommates means sharing bills. This guide covers how to track and split shared expenses fairly so everyone pays their share without awkward conversations.
Common shared expenses include rent, electricity, internet, water, gas, groceries, cleaning, and maintenance.
Make a list of all recurring monthly bills and one-time shared purchases.
Rent is often split by room size using shares, while utilities are split equally since everyone uses them similarly.
Groceries can be split equally or by what each person actually consumed using exact amounts.
In Tacth, you can choose a different split method for each expense.
Instead of logging rent and utilities every month, set them up as recurring expenses in Tacth.
