Lets guests instantly see what a stay costs per person or per family when they split the bill. For operators marketing to groups, friend trips, and multi-family reunions who want to make a big total feel affordable.
What it does #
A large nightly or weekly total can scare off a group even when the per-head cost is very reasonable. The Split Cost Calculator reframes the price: a guest opens it, enters how many people (or how many families) are coming, and immediately sees the cost broken down per person and per night. Suddenly “$4,200 for the week” becomes “$70 per person per night,” which is a far easier yes.
- Splits the booking total by people or by families
- Shows cost per person and per person per night
- Family mode can account for bedrooms per family
- Optional share button so a guest can send the breakdown to their group
- Uses the live quote for the dates the guest has selected
How to turn it on #
1. Open the settings #
Go to HomeRunner Conversion Kit in your WordPress admin and open the Split Cost tab.
2. Enable it on property pages #
Turn on Enable on property pages so the trigger button appears in the conversion stack near the booking area.
3. Set your defaults #
Choose the button label, the default tab (People or Families), and whether the share button is shown.
Settings #
- Button text – the label on the trigger button (default “Split Cost Calculator”).
- Default tab – whether the calculator opens on People or Families (default People).
- Enable share – show a button that lets guests share the cost breakdown with their group (default on).
- Enable on property pages – show the calculator automatically on property pages (default on).
Placing the button manually #
The button appears automatically in the conversion stack, but you can also place it yourself:
[hrck_split_cost]– places the trigger button where you put the shortcode[hrck_split_cost context="mobile"]– mobile placement that overlays the booking bar
Tips #
- Lead with the per-person number in your group-travel marketing. The calculator does the same math the guest is already doing in their head, only faster.
- Use Family mode for large homes that sleep multiple households. It pairs naturally with Trip Builder for groups booking more than one home.
