How do you split your bills if one earns much more than other

[Shookethtothecore]

Just that really. How do you split your earnings. So bills and everything and allocate what’s left over. Especially if one of you far out earns the other.
thanks

Our salaries are paid into our individual accounts, then every we both pay money into the joint account, leaving us the same amount of personal spending money each in our individual accounts. Then all bills are paid from the joint account.

Both wages into 1 pot all bills paid. Food petrol savings weekend family spends budgeted for and then what's left is solit 50/50 for each of us to spend.

I’ve never really given too much thought to this until reading everyone’s different arrangements.

We’ve always split all the bills and household stuff 50/50. I have always earned more then BF but the gap has got bigger over the years to now x2.5/3 his salary. I’ve never really thought to pay more as when on Statutory maternity pay I still paid 50/50.

Would you still pay a higher % even if not married?

No - I would keep finances separate until married.

Sounds like you'd be better off financially if you divorced him.

Equal amount into joint account that mortgage and bills come out of.

What's left is our own. I haven't earned her money so I have no claim to it.
