Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online dividend yield calculator.
Divide the annual dividend per share by the current share price, then multiply by one hundred
to express the answer as a percentage.
Yield on cost divides the same annual dividend by the price you originally paid, so it shows
the return on your own money.
It depends on the market and the company. A very high yield can signal a falling share price
or a dividend that may soon be cut.
Most companies pay quarterly, so the tool also shows a quarterly figure by dividing the
annual dividend income by four.
Not on its own. Check whether the dividend is covered by earnings and whether the company has
a record of maintaining it.
Enter the dividend before tax if you want a headline yield, or the amount you actually
receive if you prefer an after tax figure.
Yield is undefined when the price is zero because the calculation divides by the price. The
tool explains this instead of showing infinity.
No. It uses the dividend you enter, and companies can raise, cut or suspend payments at any
time and without warning.
