About This Dividend Yield Calculator

This dividend yield calculator works out the income return on a share investment. Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by the share price, expressed as a percentage — a quick way to compare the income different shares pay relative to their price.

This is general information only and not financial advice. A high yield isn't automatically better; it can signal a falling share price or an unsustainable payout. In Australia, franking credits can also affect the after-tax value of dividends.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is dividend yield?+
It's the annual dividend per share divided by the current share price, shown as a percentage. A $1 dividend on a $20 share is a 5% yield.
Is a high dividend yield good?+
Not always. A very high yield can mean the share price has fallen or the dividend may be cut. Look at the company's overall health, not just yield.
What are franking credits?+
In Australia, many dividends come with franking credits for company tax already paid, which can reduce the tax you pay on that income.
