balancing out
Making things even
Balancing out describes a process where opposing factors offset each other to reach equilibrium.
Good and bad elements cancel: The high cost balances out with the time saved.
Often used when disadvantages are compensated by advantages, or when uneven situations eventually equalize: It all balances out in the end.
