How it works
Dividend yield is the yearly dividend per share divided by the price per share, shown as a percent. Yearly income is the dividend per share times the number of shares.
Companies can change or stop a dividend, and the price moves every day, so the yield moves too. The figures here use only the numbers you type.
Worked example
A holding of 100 shares, bought at $50.00 each, pays $2.00 a share a year. The yield is 4%, and the yearly income is $200.00 on a cost of $5,000.00.
Questions
What is a good dividend yield?
There is no single good number. Yields vary by company and sector, and a very high yield can mean the price has fallen. Compare it with other facts about the company.
Is the dividend paid every year?
Many companies pay four times a year. Enter the total of the year's payments as the dividend per share.
Does this include taxes?
No. Dividends may be taxed, and the rule depends on where you live and your own situation. Taxes are not included here.
