Basic Income Share Calculator

Calculate each party's proportional share of a combined expense based on income ratio.

Methodology reviewed 2026-07-27. See our review process.

Formula and method

This calculator uses the values you enter and applies the calculation immediately in your browser. The main output formulas are:

  • Share owed by A: totalExpense*(incomeA/(incomeA+incomeB))
  • Share owed by B: totalExpense*(incomeB/(incomeA+incomeB))

Some formulas are undefined for certain input combinations, such as division by zero, equal x-values in a slope calculation, or logarithms of non-positive numbers. In those cases the live tool reports that the result is undefined instead of displaying Infinity or NaN.

Examples

  • Example: with Income A = 4000, Income B = 2000, Total shared expense = 600, this calculator returns Share owed by A = 400, Share owed by B = 200.
