You'd be joint tenants for the duration of the AST, so not difficult to get out of, but might be more expensive than you think. Start the way you are planning, i.e. split outgoings and keep the rest, but be prepared to be called financially abusive for no giving her all your money You may want to move towards a split based on leftover cash, so it feels "fair" to both of you, but later.

Rather than taking the outgoings of a grand, and splitting based on income, try and split so you both have roughly equivalent amounts of spare cash. Otherwise, you sitting with five hundred spare, and her with fifty will always feel uneven, and yes, I know it is logically fair, but this is not an equation and involves feminine logic.
