The dividend yield relates the annual dividend to the current price of a share. It tells you what percentage of your invested capital flows back each year as a payout - independent of price gains. Alongside it the yield on cost is interesting: it measures the dividend against your own purchase price rather than today's price. Anyone who bought early and cheaply often earns a markedly higher return on their entry than the current dividend yield suggests. This calculator shows both yields plus your annual and monthly dividend income.
The calculation runs entirely locally in your browser, in pure JavaScript - nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored. The dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by the current price; the yield on cost is the same dividend divided by your purchase price. The annual dividend is the dividend per share times your share count, and the monthly dividend is that divided by twelve. If you leave the purchase price empty, the current price is used for the yield on cost. Change an input and everything updates instantly.
An honest note: this is plain percentage arithmetic, not financial or investment advice. It uses the gross dividend; withholding tax, capital-gains tax and custody fees are not included, so the net payout is lower. A high dividend yield is no seal of quality - it can also stem from a fallen price, and dividends can be cut or scrapped. The amounts are shown in euros as an example; the underlying maths applies to any currency. For binding decisions, consult a qualified adviser.

Limitations: Plain percentage arithmetic with the gross dividend. Withholding tax, capital-gains tax and custody fees are not included, so the net payout is lower. A high yield can stem from a fallen price; dividends are not guaranteed. Without your own purchase price the yield on cost uses the current price. Amounts are in euros as an example - the maths applies to any currency. Not financial or investment advice.

The dividend yield measures the dividend against the current price; the yield on cost measures it against your own purchase price. With a cheap entry the yield on cost is higher. Worked example: a 2 euro dividend at a 50 euro price is a 4 percent yield - if you bought at 40 euros, your yield on cost is 5 percent.
No. The figure uses the gross dividend. Withholding and capital-gains tax reduce the actual payout.
Not necessarily. A high yield can also come from a sharply fallen price, and dividends can be cut. It is no seal of quality.
The amounts are shown in euros as an example; the figures hold unchanged for any other currency.
