What is a good retention ratio and how do I calculate it?

Retention rate is calculated by:
Subtracting the dividends distributed during the period from the net income and dividing the difference by the net income for the year.
A good rate is highly variable by industry, there is no set standard for it. A 100% retention rate is good, while a 15% retention rate is generally bad. A good rate is as high as you can get it to go.
