Dividend Yield Calculator formula
Dividend yield compares annual dividend per share with the current market price. A changing share price can move the yield even when the dividend is unchanged.
How to interpret the result
A higher yield is not automatically better. It may reflect a falling share price, a special dividend or a payout that may not continue.
Worked example
An annual dividend of 4 on a share priced at 100 gives a 4% dividend yield.
