Dividend Yield Calculator
Find dividend yield from annual dividend per share and share price.
Formula
Dividend yield equals annual dividend per share divided by share price, times 100.
How it works
Yield moves inversely with price: if the price falls, yield rises even if the dividend is unchanged. A very high yield can signal a price fall or a dividend at risk, not just generosity.
FAQs
Is a higher yield always better?
No — check whether the dividend is sustainable from earnings.
Does yield include price growth?
No, total return is yield plus price change.
Can dividends be cut?
Yes, companies can reduce or suspend dividends.
Are these figures financial advice?
