What this calculator does

Enter your assets and the calculator shows each party's half. This is a simple math tool, not legal advice.

The math

Each party receives total asset value ÷ 2.

Worked example

House, 401k, car, and savings totaling $405,000 split gives each party $202,500.

Why this matters

Legal and medical bills are stressful and opaque. This calculator gives you a starting number and a concrete next question to ask.

Methodology and transparency

This page publishes the exact formula used to compute the result, so you can verify it in a spreadsheet or check the assumptions against your own situation. The worked example uses the tool default inputs; change any number and the result updates live in your browser. No data is sent or stored.

Common questions

Is this legally binding?

No. It is a rough estimate. Consult an attorney for legal advice.

Does this include debts?

No. Debts should be subtracted or entered as negative values.
