Dividend Yield Calculator: quick guide

Enter a share price, annual dividend per share and your own tax and comparison assumptions. Earnings per share is optional.

  • What you get: gross and after-tax yield, income and ratio calculations.
  • How it works: dividend yield is annual dividend per share divided by the entered share price.
  • What to check: confirm the dividend declaration, ex-dividend date, tax treatment, fees and current market price.

Planning estimate. Dividends and share prices can fall; an entered growth rate is a scenario, not a forecast.

Dividend Yield Calculator FAQ

Which dividend should I enter?

Use the total dividend per share for the period you want to annualise. Do not combine a quarterly dividend with an annual share count assumption unless you first annualise it.

What does the comparison show?

It subtracts your entered comparison yield from the after-tax dividend yield. It does not make the two products equally risky or recommend one.

Why is earnings per share optional?

Dividend yield and income do not require EPS. EPS is only used for the payout ratio and price-to-earnings ratio.

What does payout ratio mean?
It is annual dividend per share divided by earnings per share. It is a historical ratio from the entered figures, not proof that a dividend is sustainable.
Is a higher dividend yield always better?
No. A high yield can result from a falling share price, and future dividends can be reduced or cancelled. Review the company, cash flows, debt, currency exposure and concentration risk.
Which tax rate should I enter?
Use the rate applicable to your investor status and the specific security. Confirm current rules with the relevant tax authority or a qualified adviser.
