    To find out the payout, we must first figure out the amount of equity we are retaining for capital budget and then subtract from our Net Income. This calculation will give us the amount in which will be paid out and we can then divide this remaining amount by our Net Income to find the payout ratio.

    Distribution = Net Income - (Target Equity Ratio * Target Capital Budget)

    Net Income$3,000,000

    Target Capital Budget$5,000,000

    Target Equity Ratio 40%

    Distribution = $1,000,000

    Knowing our distribution is $1,000,000, we can divide the distribution by Net Income to find the payout ratio.

    Distribution$1,000,000

    Net Income$3,000,000

    Payout Ratio 33.33% or 1:3
