The Rent Split Calculator With Bathroom provides a fair way to divide rent among roommates by considering both room size and bathroom access. It accounts for the additional value of private or shared bathroom access in the rent calculation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{Rent per Person} = \text{Total Rent} \times \frac{(\text{Room Size} + \text{Bathroom Weight})}{\text{Total Weight}} \]

Total Rent — The full monthly rent amount
Room Size — Size of your bedroom in square feet
Bathroom Weight — Value assigned to bathroom access (typically 0 for shared, 50-100 for private)
Total Weight — Sum of all room sizes plus bathroom weights in the apartment
