Dividend yield calculator
Calculate dividend yield from an annual dividend per share and a share price. The result is an estimate, not a promised payout.
How it works
Annual dividend per share ÷ share price × 100
The starting numbers are fictional examples. This calculator does not fetch market data or identify a suitable investment.
Use an annual amount
A $2 annual dividend and a $50 share price imply a 4% yield. If you enter one quarterly payment instead of the annual total, the result will understate an otherwise consistent four-payment schedule.
A past payment is not a promise of future income. Special dividends, cuts, currency changes, withholding taxes and a falling share price can all make the headline yield misleading. Yield also excludes capital gains and losses.
