About the Dividend Yield Calculator

Dividend Yield is treated here as a quantitative relation between Current Share Price, Annual Dividend Per Share, Total Investment and EPS and Dividend Yield, Annual Dividend Income, Monthly Dividend Income and Shares Owned.

The calculator uses a multi formula configuration. Each reported value is read as a direct evaluation of the stored rules with the declared field formats and units.

Formula basis:
Dividend yield = annual dividend / share price x 100. Annual income = shares owned x annual dividend. Payout ratio = DPS / EPS (< 75% generally sustainable). Yield on cost = future projected dividend / original purchase price.

Interpret the outputs in the order shown by the result fields. Optional inputs affect only the outputs that depend on those variables.

Formula & How It Works

The calculation applies the following relations exactly as recorded in the metadata:

Dividend yield = annual dividend / share price x 100. Annual income = shares owned x annual dividend. Payout ratio = DPS / EPS (< 75% generally sustainable). Yield on cost = future projected dividend / original purchase price.

Each output field is produced by substituting the supplied inputs into the relevant relation and then applying the declared rounding or text format.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Johnson & Johnson style: $160/share, $4.52 annual dividend

Inputs

share_price: 160 annual_dividend: 4.52 investment_amount: 16000 earnings_per_share: 10.2 dividend_growth_rate: 5 years: 10
Dividend Yield: 2.83%. Annual Dividend Income: $452. Monthly Dividend Income: $37.67. Shares Owned: 100 shares. Payout Ratio: 44.3%. Yield on Cost: 4.6%

With Current Share Price = 160, Annual Dividend Per Share = 4.52, Total Investment = 16,000 and EPS = 10.2 as the stated inputs, the result is Dividend Yield = 2.83%, Annual Dividend Income = $452 and Monthly Dividend Income = $37.67. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.

Example 2: Retiree income portfolio: $500,000 at 4% average yield

Inputs

share_price: 50 annual_dividend: 2 investment_amount: 500000 earnings_per_share: 3.5 dividend_growth_rate: 3 years: 20
Dividend Yield: 4%. Annual Dividend Income: $20,000. Monthly Dividend Income: $1,666.67. Shares Owned: 10,000 shares. Payout Ratio: 57.1%. Yield on Cost: 7.22%

With Current Share Price = 50, Annual Dividend Per Share = 2, Total Investment = 500,000 and EPS = 3.5 as the stated inputs, the result is Dividend Yield = 4%, Annual Dividend Income = $20,000 and Monthly Dividend Income = $1,666.67. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.

Example 3: High-yield REIT: $35/share, $2.40 annual dividend

Inputs

share_price: 35 annual_dividend: 2.4 investment_amount: 35000 earnings_per_share: 2 dividend_growth_rate: 2 years: 5
Dividend Yield: 6.86%. Annual Dividend Income: $2,400. Monthly Dividend Income: $200. Shares Owned: 1,000 shares. Payout Ratio: 120%. Yield on Cost: 7.57%

With Current Share Price = 35, Annual Dividend Per Share = 2.4, Total Investment = 35,000 and EPS = 2 as the stated inputs, the result is Dividend Yield = 6.86%, Annual Dividend Income = $2,400 and Monthly Dividend Income = $200. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.

Example 4: Dividend growth stock: low yield but rapid growth

Inputs

share_price: 200 annual_dividend: 1 investment_amount: 20000 earnings_per_share: 8 dividend_growth_rate: 15 years: 15
Dividend Yield: 0.5%. Annual Dividend Income: $100. Monthly Dividend Income: $8.33. Shares Owned: 100 shares. Payout Ratio: 12.5%. Yield on Cost: 4.07%

With Current Share Price = 200, Annual Dividend Per Share = 1, Total Investment = 20,000 and EPS = 8 as the stated inputs, the result is Dividend Yield = 0.5%, Annual Dividend Income = $100 and Monthly Dividend Income = $8.33. Each value corresponds to the declared output fields.
