Know Your Meter
Band A vs lower bands changes everything. Confirm your actual prepaid tariff before you budget, and track your daily consumption for a week so the split reflects reality, not guesses.
Diesel, Inverter & Work-From-Home Math
Create three shared pools so nobody subsidizes somebody else’s habit:
- Diesel: agreed running hours, logged by a simple rota.
- Electricity: split by meter reading, not by who “feels” they used less.
- Work-from-home: workdays on inverter power count toward the electric pool.
A Spreadsheet That Works
Share one spreadsheet with locked formulas and a monthly settle-up. Whoever hosts the month submits the figures; both approve before anyone pays.
