How much should we each pay into joint account?

If you are very fixed in your views that all money should go into one bank account this may not be the thread for you!

I’m back to work soon after ten months on maternity leave. I will be earning £42000 and I think the take home pay is around £2400.

Nursery is £800 a month and the mortgage is £1000. They are the main shared costs.

I was thinking £1400 leaving me with £1000 for me. Does that sound fair?

50/50 I would expect from someone I lived with but wasn’t married too.

They share a child.

So is it 2400 + 4800 so 7200 total & outgoings are about 2.5k. Why can't you each have 1k?
