Question 1

How should co-founders split project income fairly?

Accepted Answer

The fairest split depends on contributions — time invested, risk taken, and skills brought in. Equal splits work best for tight partnerships with similar contributions. Use Hours mode if you track time. Percentage mode lets you customise fully based on negotiated equity or contribution weight.

Question 2

Does the income splitter account for GST?

Accepted Answer

Yes — toggle 'Invoice included GST' if you invoiced with GST. 18% GST on the gross is deducted before splitting, since that amount belongs to the government, not the team. Only the net (ex-GST) amount gets divided.

Question 3

How does the hours-based split work?

Accepted Answer

Enter the total hours each collaborator worked on the project. The tool calculates each person's share proportionally — e.g., if A worked 60 hours and B worked 40 hours out of 100 total, A gets 60% and B gets 40% of the distributable income.

Question 4

What platform fees does the tool support?

Accepted Answer

You can enter any platform or payment gateway fee as a percentage (0–10%). Common rates: Razorpay 2%, Stripe 3%, PayPal 3.49%. The fee is deducted from the gross income before splitting, so each person receives their share of the amount that actually reaches your bank.

Question 5

Should I use a formal agreement for income splitting?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially for larger projects. A simple written agreement (even an email thread) covering split percentages, payment timeline, and any deductions protects everyone. For ongoing partnerships, consider a formal co-founder or revenue-share agreement.
