myself and my friend are going to rent together. My friend would like to have the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and i will take the smaller bedroom. There is another bathroom across the hallway. What is the best way to decide who pays what for rent?

Is the bigger bedroom significantly bigger? Is the smaller one just a single? As each have own bathroom I don't really see an issue there.
End of the day it's whatever you are both happy with - last thing you want is smouldering resentment!0 -
As you will be sharing your bathroom with visitors I would suggest a 60/40 split on rent, but 50/50 on all other bills.£2 Savers club £0/£150

As G_M alluded to, simply talk it through and come up with a split you are both happy/content with. This isn't an issue that'll be easily solved on a forum and you may end up with unrealistic or unfair expectations - living together could already test a relationship.
Put me on the spot and I'd say 55/45 is probably fair if the bedroom isn't that much smaller - no more than 60/40 at most.Personal ISA Contributions Challenge - current £0 (as at 1 April 2014) / target £15,000 (deadline 31 Mar 2015)0
