Dividend Yield Calculator

Quickly calculate pre-tax dividend yield using annual dividends and the current price. This is useful for comparing dividend stocks and ETFs. (For take-home yield, use an after-tax dividend yield calculator.)

Choose the format that matches the dividend data you have.
Example: quarterly dividend per share.
Quarterly = 4, monthly = 12, annual = 1.
Use the latest market price (or your entry price for a personal yield-on-cost view).

How to calculate dividend yield

Dividend yield is the annual dividend amount divided by the current price. It helps compare income potential across dividend stocks and ETFs, but future dividends can change.

FAQ

Is dividend yield the same as yield on cost?

Not exactly. Dividend yield typically uses the current price. Yield on cost uses your purchase price, which can be helpful for personal tracking.

Does dividend yield include taxes?

No. This tool calculates a pre-tax yield. For take-home yield, use an after-tax dividend yield calculator.

How to use this dividend yield calculator

  1. Choose an input method: annual dividends + share price, or dividend per share + price per share.
  2. Enter the dividend amount and current price.
  3. Review dividend yield (%) and annual dividend income estimate.

Example

If annual dividends are $2 per share and the current share price is $50, dividend yield is 4%.
