Partnership Profit Sharing Calculator (Musharakah)
Share a business's profit between partners by their agreed ratio or by capital, and any loss by capital, as an Islamic partnership (musharakah) requires.
One partner per line: a name, their capital, and their agreed share of profit in percent. Leave the share out to split profit by capital.
Ahmed
Rs 120,000 (50%)
- Bilal
- Rs 72,000 (30%)
- Sana
- Rs 48,000 (20%)
The profit of Rs 240,000 is shared by the agreed ratio: Ahmed Rs 120,000, Bilal Rs 72,000, Sana Rs 48,000.

Partners
| Partner | Capital | Capital % | Profit share | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ahmed | Rs 600,000 | 60% | 50% | Rs 120,000 |
| Bilal | Rs 300,000 | 30% | 30% | Rs 72,000 |
| Sana | Rs 100,000 | 10% | 20% | Rs 48,000 |
- In a musharakah, partners may agree any ratio for profit, often giving more to a working partner, but a loss must be shared in proportion to the capital each put in. A fixed guaranteed return to any partner is not allowed.
The rule
Profit: by the agreed ratio · Loss: by capital
Worked example
Ahmed puts in Rs 600,000, Bilal Rs 300,000 and Sana Rs 100,000, agreeing to share profit 50:30:20. A profit of Rs 240,000 gives Rs 120,000, Rs 72,000 and Rs 48,000. A loss of Rs 100,000 is borne by capital, 60:30:10: Rs 60,000, Rs 30,000 and Rs 10,000.
Questions people ask
How is profit shared in a partnership?
By whatever ratio the partners agreed, which can differ from their capital: a partner who works in the business often takes a larger share.
How is a loss shared in musharakah?
Always in proportion to each partner's capital, whatever the profit ratio. A partner who put in 60% of the capital bears 60% of any loss.
Can a partner get a fixed return?
Not in an Islamic partnership. A guaranteed fixed amount or fixed percentage of capital makes it like interest; profit must be a share of actual profit.
