Why it Matters

Dividend yield tells you what cash return a stock pays relative to its price, and the payout ratio hints at whether that dividend is sustainable. Seeing both at a glance helps you compare income stocks fairly. This tool is informational only and is not financial advice — dividends can be cut or raised at any time.

What this tool does

The Dividend Yield Calculator turns a stock’s price and its dividend into the numbers income investors actually compare. Enter the share price and the annual dividend per share to get the dividend yield as a clear percentage. Add the number of shares to project your annual and monthly income, and add EPS (earnings per share) to see the payout ratio. Everything runs in your browser and updates as you type.

How dividend yield is calculated

The core formula is simple:

  • Dividend yield (%) = annual dividend per share ÷ share price × 100
  • Annual income = annual dividend per share × number of shares
  • Monthly income = annual income ÷ 12
  • Payout ratio (%) = annual dividend per share ÷ EPS × 100
  • Total investment = share price × number of shares

So a ₹4.20 dividend on a ₹100 share is a 4.2% yield. Hold 100 of those shares and the projected annual income is ₹420 (₹35 a month) on a ₹10,000 investment. If the company earns ₹10.50 per share, the payout ratio is 40% — meaning 40 paise of every rupee earned is returned to shareholders. The calculation is a pure function, so the maths is deterministic and identical every time.

Disclaimer

This tool is for informational and educational purposes only and is not financial, investment, or tax advice. Dividend yield is a snapshot based on the figures you enter; dividends are not guaranteed and can be cut, suspended, or raised at any time, and a high yield can reflect a falling price rather than a healthy payout. Do your own research and consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser before making any investment decision.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is dividend yield calculated?
Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by the current share price, expressed as a percentage. For example, a ₹4.20 annual dividend on a ₹100 share is a 4.2% yield. As the price moves, the yield moves inversely — a falling price raises the yield, and a rising price lowers it.
What is the payout ratio and why does it matter?
The payout ratio is the share of earnings paid out as dividends — annual dividend per share divided by earnings per share (EPS), shown as a percentage. A very high ratio (near or above 100%) can signal that a dividend is hard to sustain, while a low ratio leaves room to grow it. The tool shows the payout ratio only when you enter EPS.
Does a high yield always mean a good investment?
No. An unusually high yield often reflects a falling share price rather than a generous dividend, and it can precede a dividend cut. Yield is one input among many — earnings, debt, cash flow, and sector matter too. This tool is informational only and does not recommend any stock.
Are these figures financial advice?
No. This calculator is for information and education only and is not financial, investment, or tax advice. Dividends are not guaranteed and can be reduced or suspended. Always do your own research and, where appropriate, consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser before making decisions.
