Electricity bill splitter
Split an electricity bill between flats, shops or rooms by their sub-meter readings, at your own rate per unit or by sharing the main bill, with common use handled your way.
Sub-meters
One row for each flat, shop or room, with last time's reading and this time's.

How it works
Three quick steps
01
Choose how to charge
A rate per unit that you set, or a share of the bill on the main meter.
02
Enter each meter's readings
Last time's reading and this time's, for every flat, shop or room. Add as many meters as you need.
03
Send each tenant their part
Copy the split as text for a message, save it as a spreadsheet, or copy a link that opens with the same readings.
Good to know
How the split is worked out
- The units a meter used are its current reading minus its previous one.
- A rate per unit charges each meter its units times the rate, plus any fixed charge you add.
- Sharing the main bill gives each meter the same share of the bill as its share of the units.
- Give the main meter's units too, and whatever no sub-meter recorded counts as common use, such as stair lights or a water pump. Split it equally, or keep it.
- Every amount is rounded to a whole rupee, so the total can differ from the bill by a rupee or two.
Questions
Before you use it
Many landlords use the rate printed on their own bill. Electricity bills often price units in slabs and add fixed charges and taxes, so sharing the main bill gives each tenant their part of what you actually paid.
The main meter counts everything, while each sub-meter counts only its own flat or shop. The difference is shared use, like stair lights or a pump. Your rent agreement may say how it is shared. If it does not, agree it with your tenants.
Enter the new meter's starting reading as its previous reading. If an old meter ran past its highest number back to zero, add up the units on each side yourself, since the tool only subtracts.
No. Everything stays in your browser. Link puts the readings in a web address only when you copy it, so anyone you send it to sees the same split.
