BudgetDuo was inspired by a fairly simple spreadsheet my wife and I use to help divvy up household expenses.

It's extremely easy to get started, just enter your recurring monthly bills, then choose how you'd like to split them - either 50/50, ad-hoc, or proportional to your income. The income based split is really where BudgetDuo shines compared to similar tools. Using you and your partner's income the calculator will provide a breakdown of the overall percentage you owe, as well as a monthly and per paycheck amount.

There are many different ways to handle shared expenses in a relationship, and BudgetDuo let's you easily compare a few of those options. Ultimately, folks should do what works best for them, but my hope is that BudgetDuo will help add some insight as couples are developing their plan.
