How this calculator works
Masters with baths or walk-ins should pay more — but how much? Size-weight first, then add a clear premium. Base share = rent × (master sq ft ÷ total bedroom sq ft); fair rent = base × (1 + premium%). Example: $2,400 rent, 180/400 sq ft base share $1,080 + 10% premium → $1,188 for the master.
Base share = rent × (master sq ft ÷ total bedroom sq ft); fair rent = base × (1 + premium%).
Example: $2,400 rent, 180/400 sq ft base share $1,080 + 10% premium → $1,188 for the master.
