Its going to be a very high ratio. The only stuff that leaves earth is a bit of the atmosphere, mainly helium and some unfixed hydrogen. Plenty of dust and small rocks rain down on earth all the time. It is estimated that 214 tonnes is added to the Earth every day.

It depends on the ratio of mass itself. You gotta take into account burnup.
