Dividend Yield Calculator

A higher yield means more income per amount invested, but an unusually high yield can signal a falling share price or a dividend at risk of being cut.

Dividend yield (%) = annual dividend per share ÷ share price × 100. Annual income = dividend per share × shares held.

Yield uses the current dividend and price; it does not predict future dividends, which companies can change or cancel. It also ignores taxes.

A 2.00 annual dividend on a 50.00 share is a 4% yield; holding 100 shares pays 200 a year.

1. Enter the annual dividend per share and the share price.
2. Optionally add how many shares you hold.
3. See the yield and your annual income.

• Chasing a very high yield without checking the dividend is sustainable.
• Using a quarterly dividend instead of the annual total.

The Dividend Yield Calculator shows what percentage of a stock’s price you earn back in dividends each year, and — if you enter how many shares you hold — your total annual dividend income.
