Dividend Yield Calculator
Find a stock’s dividend yield from dividend and price.
Income from a share
Dividend yield tells you how much income a stock pays back each year relative to its price. It is the key figure for income investors comparing dividend-paying shares.
A stock paying 2.50 a year at a price of 50 yields 5%. A higher yield means more income per dollar invested, but an unusually high figure can be a warning sign rather than a bargain.
