User Share Dividends
From FairShares Wiki 3.x
User Share Dividends are dividends paid to User Shareholders when the organisation is in Surplus. The total amount (the User Share) is calculated by multiplying Surplus by the User Share Fraction. The User Share is then divided by the number of User Shares issued to calculate the dividend on each share.
Each member receives this amount multiplied by the number of shares they have been issued using the formula:
[User Share] x (Member's User Shareholding / All Issued User Shares)
For example, if the User Share is £11,000, and a member has 2 User Shares of 180 issued, their share would be:
11,000 x (2/180) = £122.22.
