When to Use a 1:2:3 Ratio
A 1:2:3 ratio divides something into 6 parts — one person gets 1/6, another gets 2/6, and a third gets 3/6 (half). Common in tiered partnerships, inheritance splits between children of different ages, or project budgets allocated across departments by headcount.
Real-World Example
Three siblings inherit $300. The eldest (who managed the estate for years) gets 3 shares ($150), the middle child gets 2 shares ($100), and the youngest gets 1 share ($50). The split reflects effort, not favoritism.
Our take: In a 1:2:3 split, the largest share is 3x the smallest. Before committing, ask: does a 3x difference actually reflect reality? In a three-person startup, it might make sense if the founder (3 shares) built the product, the marketer (2 shares) grew the audience, and the advisor (1 share) contributed occasional guidance.
How We Calculated This
Total ratio: 1:2:3 = 6 parts
Value per unit: 300 / 6 = $50
Part 1: 1 x $50 = $50
Part 2: 2 x $50 = $100
Part 3: 3 x $50 = $150
Verification: $50 + $100 + $150 = $300
