Frequently asked questions

What's the most fair way to divide household expenses?
There are two main ways to do this: either divide equally between all of them, which is simple and transparent, or divide according to income, which is more fair when incomes are very different. Both of these methods should be clearly communicated and agreed upon.
What expenses should be shared in the house?
The expenses that should be shared are rent, electricity, water, internet and communal food. The private expenses like telephone bills, personal membership fees, should be paid separately.
How should we account for our household expenses together?
I suggest using a shared expense app or spreadsheet, set a fixed payment date every month, and review shared expenses every 3 month to adjust the figures to actual use.
