Usage-Based Expense Sharing

Usage-based expense sharing is a model where each co-owner pays according to how much they actually use the property. Those who book the most nights pay a larger share of the running costs.

When does usage-based sharing make sense?

Usage-based sharing is especially relevant when:

• Usage varies significantly between owners
• Some live nearby and use the property often, others rarely
• Variable costs (electricity, water, firewood) make up a large share
• The owners want a model that feels fair to everyone

How is it calculated?

The share is typically calculated based on the number of nights booked in a given period. If Family A has 40 nights and Family B has 20 nights, Family A pays twice as much of the usage-based expenses. Fixed costs (insurance, property tax) can still be split equally.

Usage-based sharing in Bungaflow

Bungaflow connects the booking calendar with the expense module. The system automatically calculates each owner's usage share based on actual bookings, so the split is always up to date and transparent for everyone.
