    I'd say 50% each on the bills then any extra you can spare into savings then some left over for yourselves.

    Or just pool everything together like me and my fiancee do?

    I earn twice as much as OH, but we chuck it all in a pot. Our spends (currently £15 a week) gets transferred every friday. Everything else is for bills, and paying debts (in future will be for saving). This way no one person 'pays' fpr one thing, ie tv licence/rent.
