💸 Dividend Yield Calculator

Calculate dividend yield, annual income, and quarterly/monthly payouts from your stock holdings. Enter your stock price, annual dividend, and number of shares (or investment amount) to see your projected dividend income.

Dividend Yield Formula

Dividend Yield = Annual Dividend per Share ÷ Stock Price × 100
Annual Income = Dividend × Shares Payout Ratio = Dividend ÷ EPS × 100 Yield on Cost = Dividend ÷ Buy Price × 100

Real-World Example

$50 stock price, $2/share annual dividend, 100 shares:

Dividend Yield = $2 ÷ $50 × 100 = 4.00%
Annual Income = $2 × 100 = $200
Quarterly Income = $200 ÷ 4 = $50
'What is the payout ratio?', 'answer' => 'The payout ratio is the percentage of earnings paid out as dividends. Calculated as Dividend per Share ÷ EPS × 100. A payout ratio under 70% is generally considered sustainable. Ratios above 90% may indicate difficulty maintaining the dividend if earnings decline.'], ['question' => 'How often are dividends paid?', 'answer' => 'Most U.S. stocks pay dividends quarterly. Some pay monthly (common for REITs and certain income funds), semi-annually, or annually. The quarterly income shown here assumes equal quarterly payments — check the company\'s dividend schedule for exact payment dates.'], ]" />
