How it works
Dividend yield = annual dividend per share ÷ share price × 100Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate dividend yield?
Divide the annual dividend per share by the current share price: a stock paying $2.00/year trading at $50 has a 4% yield. Yield moves inversely with price — the same dividend gives a higher yield as the share price falls.
What is a good dividend yield?
Typically 2–4% is common among stable large-cap dividend payers; yields above 6–8% can signal either an attractive value or a company under stress where the market doubts the dividend will be sustained.
How much income will my dividend stocks generate?
Multiply shares owned by the dividend per share: 200 shares of a $2.00/share annual dividend generates $400/year, or about $33/month, before any taxes on dividend income.
