How to use the accommodation cost split calculator
Add or remove people. Enter each person’s name, nights, room identifier, personal costs and payments. Choose a method. For room sharing enter room weights such as Room 1=1, Room 2=2. Add shared extras and choose how to divide them.
What the result includes
Weights are relative proportions, not fixed room prices. Personal costs go only to their owner. Refundable deposits are excluded. Settlement transfers appear only when entered payments equal the total spending; otherwise the unpaid or overpaid amount is shown.
Agree the method first
Equal sharing suits similar stays. Nights sharing suits late arrivals. Room weights let the group value different rooms differently. Custom weights can give a child or host a reduced share without changing the total.
