How it's used

Often used in professional or semi-professional contexts to describe the distribution of profits or expenses between partners. It implies a formal agreement or a pre-arranged ratio rather than just splitting a bill at a restaurant. When used in casual settings, it carries a slightly serious tone regarding financial fairness.
