Cohort XP Share

I'm looking for a fair way to give Cohorts and NPC's with the party a share of the experience. To me, a full share doesn't seem right, but I do want them to get some share, and I want them to level up.

So how does everyone else handle this?

Full XP share?

Half?

None?

Reward the NPC XPs without deducing from the PC pool?

If they fight give them a share of the PC's exp. After all, they impact the difficulty of the encounter. If they do not fight, just level them up when the PCs level.
 

1. Figure out what the group got based on CR...ECL..all that crap (including cohort)
2. Divide the amount equally
3. Halve what the cohort gets
4.Take the other half the cohort didn't get, and distribute it to the rest of the group...

Understand, I have a hard time explaing stuff sometimes...
 

Just to make life easier for those involved, I tell the only player IMC to level their cohort when they level. The cohort counts against the party's XP, though, to a tune of half a share. So in a party of 4 characters, each character gets 2/9 of the total XP, instead of 1/4.
