Inspiration
What it does
How we built it
Challenges we ran into
Living in a hostel with roommates, I noticed that the end of every month always brought the same problem — calculating shared expenses. Even simple things like rent, food orders, and electricity bills would turn into long discussions and small disagreements.
The issue wasn’t the money itself, but the confusion around dividing everything fairly. Sometimes someone would calculate it differently, or we’d forget to multiply electricity units properly. Small mistakes created unnecessary tension.
That’s when I decided to build Equal Pay. I wanted a simple program that could take all expenses as input and automatically calculate each person’s share accurately.
This project was inspired by a real-life problem I personally experienced, and it shows how programming can be used to solve everyday situations in a practical way.
