Formula and Logic
The compatibility score is calculated out of 100 using weighted contributions from 6 key lifestyle factors:
- Communication Habits: 20% weight (rated 1-5, converted to 4 points per rating level)
- Financial Priorities: 20% weight (rated 1-5, 4 points per level)
- Household Responsibility Split: 15% weight (rated 1-5, 3 points per level)
- Leisure Time Preferences: 15% weight (rated 1-5, 3 points per level)
- Long-Term Goal Alignment: 20% weight (rated 1-5, 4 points per level)
- Conflict Resolution Style Match: 10% weight (categorical rating converted to 2-10 points)
Total score ranges from 0 to 100, with ratings assigned as follows:
- 0-40: Low Compatibility
- 41-70: Medium Compatibility
- 71-100: High Compatibility
Practical Notes
These tips apply to everyday lifestyle and relationship planning contexts:

- Discuss each factor with your partner before selecting ratings to ensure mutual alignment.
- Re-calculate your score annually as priorities and habits evolve over time.
