Profit-sharing ratio = (Investment of A × Time of A) : (Investment of B × Time of B) : ...

If all partners invest for the same duration, the ratio simplifies to just the investment ratio.

💡 Example: A invests ₹10,000 for 12 months, B invests ₹15,000 for 8 months. Ratio = (10000×12):(15000×8) = 120000:120000 = 1:1

⚠️ If a partner joins later or leaves early, adjust their "time" to only the months they were actually invested.
