Dividend Payout Ratio Formula

$$\text{DPR} = \left( \frac{\text{Yearly Dividend}}{\text{Yearly Earnings}} \right) \times 100$$

Where:

• $$DPR$$ = Dividend Payout Ratio (%)
• $$Yearly Dividend$$ = total dividends paid over the year
• $$Yearly Earnings$$ = net earnings or profit for the year

The Dividend Payout Ratio indicates how much of a company’s profit is returned to shareholders versus retained for growth. A high DPR suggests consistent returns to investors, while a low DPR may indicate reinvestment in business expansion. This calculator is useful for income investors and financial analysts comparing dividend strategies across companies.
