Okay I'm reposting this because on my other post people wanted to jump down my throat and get mad. Anyways, I live in a apartment, me and another guy. His room is huge and my room is small. He agreed he would pay 50 extra for the bigger room. The rent is $675. Now if you refer to splitwise.com and put $675 rent for  a two bedroom apartment, put my room as being small and his as large, and the common areas as average (because they aren't spacey at all), it says I would be paying 283 and he would be paying 391. I currently pay 288 and he pays 385. People were getting mad at me saying I am ripping him off, I really don't see how. In addition to that he refuses to do dishes and says that he will just take out the trash instead. He also does not clean, I clean the bathrooms, kitchen, living room and sink and tub. Also if you saw the size of the rooms in person I'm sure you would agree with me as well. Anyways, now we have a third person living with us and he is going to be staying in my small room with me. Again, go to splitwise.com enter in the room of my roommate, put size large, then put in my room as small and being shared by two people, it says rent should be 170 between and and the person sharing my room and about 340 for the roommate who has the bigger room to himself. Do you agree or disagree? and nicely please lmao. I genuinely don't think I'm ripping anyone off given I do everything for the house anyways, & if I didn't I'm telling you not one crumb would be wiped. 
更新1:

Update: The third person living with us in my room is my original roommate's best friend and he would come over everyday anyways to hangout with us both so we all were okay with him moving in. 

更新2:

We are sharing a full size bed.

更新3:

Also we did work it out, he agreed we can pay 150 each. I genuinely don't think he's getting ripped off and some of you are thinking he is, hence why I made the post. Again name calling, you all really need to grow up. Thanks have a nice day.

更新4:

If I don't clean up after him then I am living in filth as well, I don't mind cleaning up after him but I'm not going to pay 200 dollars to share a room with someone

更新5:

BASIC MATH: if it was just me and him and we split rent evenly, 675 divided by 2 is 337 dollars. He said he is gonna pay 50 MORE. 337 plus 50 is 387. Lmao hence why he pays 387.

更新6:

In regards to D.E.B.S, I think you are confused, I never said the per room cost should go down, it would actually be going up, we would just be splitting. If me and the person that stays in my bedroom each pay even 160 like the website suggested, 160 x 2 equals 320..... what I paid before he moved in when I had my room to myself is 288. What do you mean by that?

更新7:

to @babyboomer1001 THANK YOU finally someone with knowledge. He even said so himself last night he refuses to do dishes, but wants to start cooking at home. Newsflash, cooking causes dirty dishes. I am no one's maid. Now if I have to do those dishes I'm going to be paying what is fair, and that is 160 dollars for me and 160 for the guy in my room with me. He can pay the rest,

更新8:

Also people don't seem to understand we are SHARING A BED

I think you are being ripped off, and taken advantage by the jerk who you first roomed with.  Tell him that you two have decided that it makes no sense for two people to share the small room so it is going to be his and you and this other guy are taking the large room.  How you three split the rent is up for discussion.  However, if he won't share in cleaning, then you are deducting $40 a month from him to be split by the other two.  Taking out the garbage does not amount to the same time and effort as cleaning.

Incompatibility is the far bigger issue here than money.  And that is the problem with roommates.  The other problem is that YOU agreed on the extra amount he would pay and the extra LESS that you would pay.  Now you want to renegotiate that amount and he does not want to.  What some website says does not mean you can renegotiate. He is under no legal obligation to change the agreement.

Approaching renewal time, you can renegotiate and if you can't agree, you don't renew and you all move. But it sounds like even if you get the money split YOU think is fair, you're not going to get the effort out of that guy that you want, and you can't force it out of him. So until the lease ends and you go your way and he goes his, you keep paying what you agreed to pay at the beginning. This website is meaningless after the fact.

You were already told that there is no law on splitting rent. How you split it is 100% what ever the roommates agree to.  If you cannot agree then you should not be living together.
How much or how little cleaning someone does has nothing what so ever to do with rent.

Genuinely, I don't care. Because I'm not living in the space.
This is something to be discussed and agreed between you three. You can use SplitWise as a guide for best practice, but you still need to agree it.

(Also presumably your new partner will be on the lease if you're renting)

It does not matter have big the bedrooms are.
The information from yesterday has not changed.

Large room = $275
Small room person 1 = $200
Small room person 1 = $200

Your room is not 65SF.  Do you know how small that is? about 6.5' x 10'.  Seeing that a twin bed is about 40" x 78", you aren't fitting two people in that room.  And it's unlikely that even you are in a room that small. 
- If two people are going to being the room without bunkbeds it's go to at least be "normal" (10'x10') which gives about 2 feet between the beds.  

Besides Splitwise doesn't take into consider 3 people living in a 2 bedroom.  You don't get to split 1/2 the rent of the smaller room because you have all the same access to the common space.

I didn't say you ripped off the other guy.  He agreed to it. That's not ripping him off.  I said I don't know why he agreed to it. 

Why are you so such a cheapskate?

You mean you didn't get the answers you wanted that people didn't agree with you

Signed room mate agreements BEFORE you start living with other people is required along with a rota of who does what/when, part of that roommate agreement is who pays what rent...so EVERYTHING is agreed and signed, you don't wait until there are issues, you do it before so these silly, immature issues don't get worse and cause more serious issues......... the basic is you don't live with other people and expect them to live the same way as you and if you do you have to be flexible and tolerant

Note: i used to vacation in a place that had 2 twin beds in a room about 8 foot by 8 feet so it is possible.  The bedrooms in my grandmothers house were about 5 ft x 10 foot and only fit 1 twin bed.  There were 4 boys in 1 room and  girls in the other.

no, you wanted to be the spoiled brat princess and jump down everyone else's throats...your lucky your roommates put up with you.  I hope you can afford rent on your own someplace else.  Your room can't be that small if it at least fits 2 twin beds.

you REFUSE to understand that you whine your way into the 1st roommate paying $100 more than you when he offered to pay $50 more and that was the agreement.

rentwise is just an estimate based on your subjective and partial data you input.  I used a different site which did in fact suggest the 2 sharing the small room should pay 200 each.  sites like that are not gospel.

you refuse to understand that you are SHARING most of the unit.  A typical 2 bedroom unit is about 900 sq feet.  The 2 bedrooms may be a total of 250 sq feet...meaning that you still need to pay for your share of the other 650 sq feet.

you're only real complaint is how chores are split.....it is fair for roommate to pay you in the form of reducing the rent more for you to do  the cooking and dishes is he wants to act like an over grown toddler about chores and not do his part,  but ideally, you would have a roommate agreement about chores.  If you are a good cook, but he isn't...he needs to take full responsibility for other chores such as doing all dishes for shared meals.

why don't you say what the actual room sizes are?  if you don't have a tape measure you can look up the size of the bed and use other ways to estimate.

splitwise.com seems like a joke if it says your rent should drop from $283 to $240 (split between the two sharing the room) by bringing in another person who is using more common space.  The rent for the shared room should be going up.  You'd still be saving money b/c you'd be splitting a slightly higher number, but the per room cost certainly shouldn't go down.  That's nonsense.  Your roommate is giving up common space (kitchen, bath, living room, etc) and you want to charge him more?  Yeah, the site is stupid.  

Your rent is not tied to the cleaning habits of the people living there.  That's a separate issue which every roommate deals with.  You sound like you have a lazy slob.  It's a live and learn experience.  When the lease is up, then you look for a new place with someone else.  

--edit--

Basic math:  If rent is $675, then half is $337.50.  If he is going to pay $50 more than you, then the split would be $362.50 & $312.50  (subtract the two and get $50 more.)  That's how it's usually expressed. Your math comes to $100 more in the common usage.

 what a load of bullsh//t

  either he nor you can be rippled off if you both agreed to it - all the rest is just bullsh//t

(remind me- how can you share  2 rooms with another guy when you share the same bed?)

The 30% Rule Explained: How Much Should You Pay for Rent? In simple terms, the 30% rule recommends that your monthly housing costs not go above 30% of your gross monthly income. So, if you gross $5,000 per month, the max you should be paying for housing costs, including rent, is $1,500.

YOU are the one that doesn't understand basic language or math.

387-288 = 99 ....NOT 50.  that is 99 MORE than you.
