Dividend Yield Calculator
Calculate dividend yield and yield on cost for your holdings. Enter the annual dividend per share and your purchase price to see the real return percentage.
Current Dividend Yield

Yield on Cost (your purchase price)

Your Annual Dividend Income

Unrealised Gain Per Share

How to use
- Enter the annual dividend per share.
- Enter your purchase price and today's price.
- Current yield is for new buyers; yield on cost shows the return on your own holding.
- Compare both — a rising yield on cost is a sign of good long-term income investing.
Note
Yield only measures dividend income; price change is separate. A dividend policy can change at any time.
Tips
- Yield on cost rises as dividends grow — that is the reward of holding long term.
- A very high yield can be a warning sign — check why the price fell.
- Compare yields across similar companies, not across different sectors.
