You could try the BS the Pax technique
Pax know zip, so
Tell them the aircraft costs $600 per hour to operate,
They each dutifully pay their third,
You say thanks, and now you have two good and true citizens who will
vouch that they each paid one third

And that advice only cost you 10% - you're making money everywhere

I flew to a fly-in today with my two sons (aged 1 and 2) and two adult
coworkers. My buddies want to pay their fair share, but as I private
pilot I am obviously limited under FAR 61.118 as to what I can accept.
So, what share of the direct costs should I take from each coworker?
33%? 20%? Or their weight divided by the total weight of all pax?
