How does this calculator work?
Annual dividend income = shares × annual DPS (DPS per payment × payments per year). Dividend yield = annual DPS / stock price × 100%. For example, 1,000 shares paying $2.50 quarterly at a $50 stock price yields $10,000/year and a 20% yield. Dividends are not guaranteed and may be taxed.
Formula
How this is calculated
Dividend income is straightforward: multiply the number of shares you hold by the annual dividend per share (DPS). If dividends are paid quarterly at $2.50 per share, the annual DPS is $2.50 × 4 = $10.00. Multiply that by your share count to get total annual income.
The dividend yield expresses what that income is as a percentage of the current share price. A stock paying $10/year and trading at $200 has a 5% yield, making it comparable to interest rates on other income-generating assets. Note that a high yield can signal either a generous payout or a falling stock price, so it should be considered alongside payout sustainability.
This calculator uses the current stock price and per-payment dividend, so the yield reflects the current rate. Forward or trailing yields may differ if dividends or prices change. Dividend income may be subject to tax in your jurisdiction, and companies can reduce or suspend dividends without notice.
Frequently asked questions
Dividend yield = (Annual dividend per share / Current stock price) × 100. A stock paying $4/year at a $100 share price has a 4% yield.
Dividend income is the absolute cash amount you receive (shares × annual DPS). Dividend yield is that income expressed as a percentage of the market value of your investment, making different stocks comparable.
No. Companies can cut, suspend or eliminate dividends at any time. High yields sometimes reflect a falling share price rather than a growing payout, so always check whether the dividend is well-covered by earnings.
