EvenRound for house shares with monthly bills
Last updated by The EvenRound team.
Rent, council tax, energy, broadband, and one flatmate who insists they don't use the Netflix any more.
House-share bills are the slow-drip group expense problem: same five people, same five bills, every month, for two years. EvenRound Pro adds restricted-add mode so the lead tenant controls the official bill list, recurring expenses for rent and utilities, and a budget cap so you spot the month your energy bill quietly doubles.
Common scenarios
Recommended setup
Pro subscription, restricted-add mode on (lead tenant controls the bill list), recurring expenses set up for rent and known monthly utilities, settle-up reminder cadence set to weekly during rent collection. Budget cap optional but useful for catching supplier price changes.
Sample calculation
4-person house share, London Zone 3, one calendar month
| Who paid | For | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| Lead tenant | Rent (paid to landlord) | £2,400 |
| Lead tenant | Council tax (Band D) | £185 |
| Flatmate B | Energy bill (Octopus) | £142 |
| Flatmate C | Broadband + Netflix | £62 |
Settlement
Per-head share £697.25. After Flatmate C's broadband contribution and Flatmate B's energy contribution, the two flatmates with bills in their name are owed; the other two owe the lead tenant. Settled by the 5th via standing order.

- Settle-up reminders auto-chase shares without flatmate awkwardness.
- Budget cap with progress bar flags supplier price hikes before you've absorbed three months of them.
