Actually that's not completely accurate either. That math was based on the demo where all characters were level 20, that's why the bonus was 20% and the xp numbers were even with a full group (they will be even when everyone in the group is the same level). This is the way it actually works, taken from a post on GameFAQs at http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/626515-dragons-dogma/65410877 :

"Any given monster has a base xp value which is earned by all 4 members of your party if they are all of equal level. Your Arisen and your Main Pawn gain xp. Your support pawns gain Rift Crystals at a rate of 1/10 xp earned in lieu of gaining any actual xp.

The amount any given party member earns is modified 3 times—once for each of the other 3 characters. The modifier is a multiplier of:

[1 + (character's level - the other character's level) / 100]

So if you kill a Geo Saurian (base xp 900) with a party consisting of Arisen: 66, Main Pawn: 65, Support Pawn1: 54, Support Pawn2: 71, you would calculate the Arisen's xp as follows:

1 + (66 - 65)/100 = 1.01

1 + (66 - 54)/100 = 1.12

1 + (66 - 71)/100 = 0.95

900 * 1.01 * 1.12 * 0.95 = 967 (or 968 depending on rounding) xp earned by the Arisen.

The RC earned by the first support pawn would be calculated as follows:

1 + (54 - 66)/100 = 0.88

1 + (54 - 65)/100 = 0.89

1 + (54 - 71)/100 = 0.83

(RC is 0.1 per 1 xp)

900 * 0.88 * 0.89 * 0.83 * 0.1 = 58 RC (or 59 depending on rounding) earned by the Support Pawn.

The modifier stops increasing/decreasing after 25 levels either way, so any given modifier will be no higher than 1.25 and no lower than 0.75. The highest cumulative modifier is 1.25 * 1.25 * 1.25 = 1.953125. The lowest is 0.75 * 0.75 * 0.75 = 0.421875.

If you have less than a full party, the modifier for an absent character is calculated as though for a level 0 character."

This means that the first comment is true if all characters are level 20, but the amount of extra xp you would get changes as you gain levels without pawns. Either way, the information on the actual page here IS wrong as of this writing, its not simply a matter of taking xp and dividing it by number of people in the party.
