Dividend Yield Calculator
Find the dividend yield, your yield on cost, and the annual income from a holding.
How Dividend Yield Works
The Formula
Yield = (Annual Dividend ÷ Share Price) × 100
Use the trailing 12-month dividend for the current yield, or the forecast dividend for the forward yield. Yield rises when the price falls and falls when the price rises — so a climbing yield is not always good news.
Mind the Yield Trap
An unusually high yield often signals the market expects a cut. Check dividend cover — earnings and free cash flow versus the payout — before buying for income. A growing, well-covered dividend beats a high but fragile one.
