Payout ratio is the percentage of earnings that a company distributes as dividends among ordinary shareholders. The companies that are in their growth stage often tend to have a higher payout ratio as compared to companies that are at their maturity stage.
Assume that a company has opening retained earnings of $30,000 and closing retained earnings of $38000. The current year’s profits were $12000. This way the company paid $4000 as dividends.
Closing retained earnings = Opening retained earnings + profit – dividends
Dividends = $30000 + $12000 - $38000 = $4000
Payout ratio will be 33% (4000/12000)
