'Eigenanteil' (personal contribution) is made up of 'eigen' (own) and 'Anteil' (share). The word therefore refers to a share attributed to a particular person.
Der Eigenanteil an den Gesamtkosten ist für viele Familien schwer zu bezahlen.
The personal contribution toward the total costs is difficult for many families to afford.
When referring to costs, 'Eigenanteil' (out-of-pocket contribution) is often used with verbs such as 'bezahlen' (to pay), 'übernehmen' (to cover), and 'tragen' (to bear). The specific amount is often introduced with 'von' (of).

The insurance company covers part of the cost, but the patient must pay an out-of-pocket contribution of 300 euros.
In collaborative work, a person's own contribution to a task is often described using 'Eigenanteil an' (individual contribution to). Typical phrases include 'den Eigenanteil leisten' (to make one's individual contribution) and 'den Eigenanteil sichtbar machen' (to make one's individual contribution visible).
Bei der Präsentation muss jeder seinen Eigenanteil an der Gruppenarbeit sichtbar machen.
