Formula and methodology
Formula: Ending retained earnings = beginning retained earnings + net income - dividends.
Retained earnings roll forward the accumulated amount kept in the business. This calculator adds current-period net income to the beginning balance and subtracts dividends. The result is an equity balance, not a cash balance, because income and distributions may involve noncash items and timing differences.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Beginning retained earnings — Balance at the start of the selected period.; minimum -1000000000000; maximum 1000000000000
- Net income — Enter a loss as a negative amount.; minimum -1000000000000; maximum 1000000000000
- Dividends — Distributions deducted during the period.; minimum 0; maximum 1000000000000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Beginning retained earnings | 50000 |
| Net income | 12000 |
| Dividends | 3000 |
Ending retained earnings is 59000.00.
Assumptions and limits
- The amounts use one reporting period and one currency, with dividends entered as a nonnegative distribution.
- The simplified roll-forward excludes prior-period adjustments, transfers, and other equity movements that may appear in a full statement.
