Split Cost Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the Split Cost. 

SC = TC / S
  • Where SC is the Split Cost ($)
  • TC is the total cost ($) 
  • S is the number of ways cost is being split 

To calculate a split cost, divide the total cost by the number of split ways.

How to Calculate Split Cost?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Split Cost.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the total cost ($). The total cost ($) is given as 750.
  2. Next, determine the number of ways cost is being split. The number of ways cost is being split is provided as 3.
  3. Finally, calculate the Split Cost using the equation above: 

SC = TC / #S

The values given above are inserted into the equation below:

SC = 750 / 3 = 250 ($)

Example Problem #2: 

The variables needed for this problem are provided below:

total cost ($) = 800

number of ways cost is being split = 40

Entering these values and solving gives:

SC = TC / #S = 20.00 ($)
