For couples/roommates with different incomes — how do you split shared expenses fairly?

My partner and I earn pretty differently, and lately splitting everything 50/50 has started to feel off — the person earning less feels a much bigger pinch on the same bill.

I've seen some people split proportionally to income instead (if you earn 60% of the combined total, you cover 60% of shared costs). It sounds fairer in theory, but I'm curious how it works in practice for people actually doing it.

For those of you living with a partner or roommate:

Do you split evenly, proportionally, or some other way?

How do you actually track it without it becoming a monthly argument?

Does anyone bother with apps for this, or is it just a shared note / spreadsheet?

Trying to figure out a system that feels fair long-term. Curious what's worked (or blown up) for you.

I got tired of Splitwise nickel-and-diming couples, so I'm building a cleaner alternative

After Splitwise added daily limits and ads, I looked around — and every alternative is still built for groups. Six friends splitting a trip.

But most people don't split money with a group. They split it with one other person: a partner or a roommate.

And here's the part almost no app gets right: when one of you earns more, splitting 50/50 isn't actually fair.

So I'm building HouseBalance:

  • ⚖️ Fair, not just equal — split proportionally to income, not forced 50/50
  • 👤 Two people, one clear balance — no group-app clutter
  • 🎉 Free tier that stays useful — no ads, no daily limits

It's pre-launch. Landing page here 👉 housebalance.web.app

Would love brutal feedback on the positioning:

>Does "shared money for two" resonate, or is the couple angle too narrow?

12 testers needed for my app if possible. Post your app so I can also test it 😁

Ah, that's the Google Play 12-tester/14-day closed testing requirement before you can publish publicly — so this post needs to drive immediate action, not just interest.

Here's a rewritten version optimized for urgency and conversion:

🏠 [Need 12 Testers in 14 Days] Help me launch House Harmony on the Play Store!

Hey r/androidapps! 👋

I'm trying to get House Harmony published on the Google Play Store, but Google requires at least 12 testers to opt in for 14 days before I can go live. I just need people to install it and keep it for two weeks — that's it!

⏱️ Takes less than 2 minutes to help:

  1. Join the tester group → https://groups.google.com/g/house-harmony-testers
  2. Install the app → Play Store link

No pressure to do anything else — but if you do use it and have feedback, I'm all ears!

I only need 12 people. If you've ever wanted someone to do the same for your app one day, now's your chance to pay it forward 🙏

Comment or DM me once you've joined so I can track progress!
