Free Dividend Yield Calculator

What is the Dividend Yield Calculator?

Work out dividend yield and annual dividend income from a share holding.

Annual dividend per share is the payment multiplied by payments per year. Dividing it by the current share price gives the dividend yield, and dividing by your purchase price gives your yield on cost; multiplying by shares owned gives annual and average monthly income.

Time and consistency do most of the work in saving and investing. Running the numbers shows how small changes in rate, term or contribution add up.

Step 1

Enter your starting amount, regular contribution, expected return and time period.

Try a lower return as well as a higher one, because real markets are uneven.

Tips for better results

A very high yield can signal a falling share price or an unsafe dividend, so check payout history. Yield on cost can look high for old holdings while the current yield is what new buyers receive.

Treat the result as an illustration, not a promise. Returns vary year to year.

Fees and inflation reduce real growth, so consider both when planning.
