Why Do We Need a Smarter Rent Split?

• Indian flats are never equal: Some rooms have balconies, some have attached bathrooms, some are tiny.
• Common area matters: A big living room or kitchen means everyone benefits, not just one room.
• Emotional drama: "Main zyada pay kar raha hoon!" — Let’s end the jhagda with math.

How Does the Calculator Work?

1. Room Perks = Points

Each room gets points for:

• Size: Chhota (Tiny), Small, Normal, Bada (Large), Mast (Huge)
• Sunlight/Ventilation: Dabba type 😭, Theek hai, Badiya
• Balcony: Nahi, Small, Badi/Usable
• Bathroom: Common, Attached
• AC/Cooler: Nahi, Yes
• Extra Factors: Sharing, road noise, kitchen smell, privacy, storage, best view

Example:

• Room 1: Normal (100) + Badiya sunlight (15) + Balcony (10) + Attached bathroom (25) + AC (10) = 160 points
• Room 2: Chhota (70) + Dabba sunlight (0) + No balcony (0) + Common bathroom (0) + No AC (0) = 70 points

2. Common Area Multiplier

• If the flat has a big living room/kitchen, the difference between rooms matters less.
• Multiplier: Chhota (90), Normal (100), Bada (110)
• Formula: roomWeight = roomPoints / (commonAreaSize / 100)

3. Total Weight & Rent Split

• Add up all room weights.
• Each room’s share: suggestedRent = totalRent * (roomWeight / sumOfAllRoomWeights)

4. Rounding for Real Life

• India me round figure me settle-up easy hota hai.
• Choose: No rounding, Nearest ₹10 (recommended), Nearest ₹50
• After rounding, any leftover/remainder is distributed to the highest rent rooms so the total matches exactly.

Full Example Calculation

Suppose:

• Total rent: ₹45,000
• 2 rooms
• Room 1: 160 points, Room 2: 70 points
• Common area: Normal (100)
• Rounding: Nearest ₹10

Rent Ka Batwara Example

Step 1:

• Room 1 weight: 160 / 1 = 160
• Room 2 weight: 70 / 1 = 70
• Total weight: 230

Step 2:

• Room 1 share: 45000 * (160/230) = ₹31,304
• Room 2 share: 45000 * (70/230) = ₹13,695

Step 3:

• Rounded: Room 1 = ₹31,310, Room 2 = ₹13,690
• Total after rounding: ₹45,000 (matches exactly)
