Rent and Utilities can be split in different ways, in this case you
|
||||
pay all the bills and 2 roommates pay their share to a specific bank
|
||||
account. Furthermore, the roommates pay their share for the following
|
||||
month which means that until you pay the bills, the money is in a
|
||||
liability account. Bills can be monthly/quarterly/yearly, but you would
|
||||
still like to have your roommates pay the same sum every month so they
|
||||
can automate the process. You would like to know how much in debt or
|
||||
in credit you are towards your roommates, so when a yearly bill (e.g
|
||||
insurance) is due you already have the money stashed in a liability
|
||||
account.
|
||||
|
||||
Take the following example:
|
||||
|
||||
- 900 EUR/month Rent -> You pay 280 EUR, roommate A pays 300 EUR,
|
||||
roommate B pays 320 EUR (prices differ because room sizes differ)
|
||||
|
||||
- 60 EUR/month Internet -> 20 EUR monthly contribution
|
||||
|
||||
- 90 EUR/quarter Water -> 10 EUR monthly contribution
|
||||
|
||||
- 122.40 EUR/year Insurance -> 3.40 EUR monthly contribution
|
||||
|
||||
The example takes place in June, meaning that a monthly internet bill
|
||||
and a quarterly water bill is received. The yearly insurance bill is not
|
||||
received, which means that 3.40 of the utilities that your roommates
|
||||
pay you are stored in a liability account. This would be more apparent
|
||||
if each utility would have its own Liability:Utilities sub-account, so
|
||||
feel free to expand upon this snippet if you would like to track these
|
||||
details.
