Split the rent fairly and see who owes whom
Drop in the rent and shared bills and Roomtally splits the rent by room size, shares the bills, shows each roommate's fair share and lists the transfers that settle up — in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
How it works
- List the rent and bills — item, rent or bill, amount, who paid and who shares it — in the template, or try the sample.
- Enter the roommates and room sizes, and how much of the rent follows room size.
- Print the split with each fair share and the settle-up transfers to share with the household.
Why Roomtally
For roommates and housemates who share rent and bills. Before move-in you need a rent split everyone thinks is fair; every month you need to know who paid what and who owes whom. Roomtally turns your list of rent and bills into both.
Your rent and bills
One row per bill: rent, power, gas, water, internet, groceries. Who paid it and, if not everyone, who shares it.
Rent by room size
Each bedroom's square footage — or any weight for a private bath or parking — blended with an equal split if you choose.
Settle up
Each roommate's balance and suggested transfers that square everyone up.
Only some people
Name who shares a bill, like “Sam;Jo”, and only they split it.
Rent what-if
How each share moves from all by room size to all equal, so you can agree a blend.
Flags
Payers not on the list, names that don't match, missing room sizes, and the joint-lease reminder.

FAQ
Is my data uploaded?
No. Your files are read by JavaScript in your browser tab and never sent to us or anyone else. Bill rows aren't stored, so closing the tab clears them. Settings can be saved in this browser if you ask.
What does Roomtally do?
It reads a list of a household's rent and shared bills, splits the rent by room size (or a blend with an equal split), splits bills equally or among the people who share them, shows each roommate's fair share and balance, and lists the transfers that settle everyone up.
How is rent split by room size?
Each roommate pays the rent times their room's size divided by the total of all rooms. At a 50% blend, half the rent is split that way and half equally, which accounts for shared space everyone uses.
Can I weigh a private bathroom or parking?
Yes. Room sizes can be any weight: add square feet or use numbers like 1.2 and 1 for rooms with and without a private bathroom. A parking spot can also be its own bill split only to the person who uses it.
What's free?
Importing any number of bills, every fair share, the settle-up transfers, every flag, 3 rent what-ifs and 12 bills on screen and in print (with a footer). Pro shows everything and adds the Excel workbook and CSV exports.
What isn't covered?
Security deposits, move-in and move-out mid-month proration, subletting, the landlord's own rules and local rent laws. It is a worksheet, not legal or tax advice.
Is this legal or tax advice?
No. Roomtally applies the arithmetic it describes to the figures you provide. On a joint lease every tenant is usually liable for the whole rent whatever you agree among yourselves. Check your lease and local law. It is not affiliated with any landlord.
