Formula
- Use the units shown beside each field.
- Results update automatically whenever you change an input.
- Displayed values use up to four decimal places, or scientific notation for very small or large numbers. Calculations use standard floating-point arithmetic; exact integer and fraction tools identify their own precision rules.
- No prior-period corrections, share repurchases or other direct-equity movements are inferred.
Example Calculation
- Opening retained earnings: 500
- Net income: 100
- Dividends declared: 30
Opening retained earnings = 500; Net income = 100; Dividends declared = 30. The primary result is 570.
Frequently asked questions
How do I use this calculator?
Enter opening retained earnings, net income, dividends declared. The result updates automatically. Use Reset to restore the example values.
What method does it use?
closing retained earnings=opening+net income−dividends.. No prior-period corrections, share repurchases or other direct-equity movements are inferred.
Why might a rounded result differ?
The calculation keeps full numeric precision internally, then rounds the displayed result. Rounding intermediate steps by hand can produce a slightly different answer.
Are my inputs saved online?
No. This calculator processes your inputs in your browser. A recently used list stores only calculator names on this device, not your entered values.
