Twelve quick questions to estimate how the household load really splits between you and your partner — including the planning work that never makes it onto a chore chart. Takes two minutes, no signup.
How the estimate works
Each chore is weighted by the time it typically takes per week in a two-person household, so cooking counts for a lot more than taking the bins out. Your answers place each chore's hours with you, your partner, or both. The four planning questions feed a separate mental load score, because in most households the thinking work skews much harder to one side than the visible chores do.
Twelve questions can't capture a whole household, so treat the number as a rough sketch rather than a ruling. Its real job is to get the two of you talking. If the result surprises either of you, our guide on splitting chores fairly is a good place to start that conversation.
