How would you split costs for this holiday.
Large holiday home split between three families.
Family 1
2 adults, 3 kids aged 11 15 and 17 will take 3 bedrooms

Family 2
2 adults, 2 kids aged 8 and 14 will take 2 bedrooms

Family 3
2 adults, 2 kids aged 5 and 9 will take 2 bedrooms

How would you split both the house rental cost and the big food shop cost?

If I had the largest family I’d offer to pay 3/7 of it all. If I had one of the smaller families I’d insist on paying thirds of it all.

If the child with their own room is in a box room then maybe 1:1:1.

I’d just split the house rental it in 3 🤷🏼‍♀️.

With food I would expect the larger family to contribute more though.

3:2:2

Probably I'd divide by 7 - the number of rooms being used. Family one pay 3/7th of the cost and the other two families both pay 2/7th.

Seems fairest.
