How to Use the Ratio Distribution Calculator
The Ratio Distribution Calculator divides any total amount or quantity into exact portions according to a given ratio. Use it for splitting profits, dividing costs, mixing ingredients, distributing bonuses among team members, or any proportional allocation task.
Enter the total and the ratio for each item. The calculator instantly shows the allocation for every item. Add or remove rows to handle anywhere from 2 to 10 items.
Calculation Formula
Item allocation = total × (item ratio / sum of all ratios). Example: split $12,000 by 3:2:1. Sum = 6. Allocations: $6,000, $4,000, $2,000. Ratios do not need to add up to 100 or any specific number.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Any positive ratio combination works — 3:2:1, 1:1, or 2.5:1.5:1 are all valid inputs.
Allocations are displayed with up to 2 decimal places when the total does not divide evenly.
Item names are optional. You can leave them blank — they do not affect the calculation.
