Formula and methodology
Formula: Dividend payout ratio = dividends / net income x 100; retention ratio = 100 - payout ratio.
The dividend payout ratio expresses entered dividends as a percentage of net income. The companion retention ratio is the remainder after subtracting payout from 100 percent. A result above 100 percent can occur when distributions exceed current-period net income, so the tool reports the arithmetic without judging sustainability or investment value.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Dividends — Dividends declared or paid under your chosen period convention.; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000000
- Net income — Net income for the same period; must be positive.; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Dividends | 2000 |
| Net income | 10000 |
Dividend payout is 20.00% and retention is 80.00%.
Assumptions and limits
- Dividends and net income use the same period, currency, share basis, and reporting convention.
- Net income must be positive for this ratio; the page does not model share counts, taxes, market prices, or investor objectives.
