A payout ratio of one (1.0) means that 100% of the company’s earnings are paid out in dividends. A payout ratio greater than one means the company is dipping into savings to maintain its dividend — not a healthy situation. Companies with some growth potential are expected to pay out most of their earnings in dividends, which typically have a payout ratio between 0.5 and 1.0. Companies with good growth prospects are expected to retain some of the earnings to invest in those growth prospects, which translates into a payout ratio of zero to 0.5.
