Rent isn't always equal. Your split shouldn't pretend it is.
Split rent by room size, move-in date, or whatever your household agreed on. Track utilities alongside rent. One place, zero arguments.
This is for you if...
- ✓You have the bigger bedroom and want to pay your fair share — not more, not less
- ✓Someone moved in mid-month and nobody knows what they owe
- ✓Utilities keep getting bundled with rent and the math is getting messy
- ✓You're tired of the group chat turning into an accounting thread every first of the month
Fair rent starts with a system everyone can see. Not a text thread nobody wants to scroll through.

Are We Even helps people keep shared finances simple — whether it's roommates splitting rent, friends planning trips, or couples managing shared costs.
No landlord portal. No lease management.
Just clear, fair splits.
Why splitting rent gets complicated
Rooms aren't the same size
The person in the master suite shouldn't pay the same as the person in the converted closet. But calculating the difference? That's where it gets awkward.
Mid-month move-ins break the math
Someone moves in on the 15th. Someone else leaves on the 20th. Suddenly nobody knows what anyone owes.
Utilities get bundled with rent
Electric, water, internet — they change every month. Lumping them together without tracking creates resentment over time.
Nobody wants to be the landlord of the group chat
Someone always ends up chasing payments. That person shouldn't have to be the bad guy every month.
One place to keep rent clear
Are We Even tracks rent alongside utilities so everyone sees the same numbers. Set custom splits once, then just log what's owed each month. No chasing payments. No spreadsheet formulas. No "I thought I already paid you." Just clarity.
- Custom percentage splits for uneven rooms
- Prorate automatically for partial months
