Dividend yield questions

How do you calculate dividend yield?

Dividend yield equals annual dividend per share divided by share price, then multiplied by 100.

Is a higher dividend yield always better?

No. A high yield can reflect a falling share price or a dividend that investors doubt is sustainable.

Does this calculator include dividend taxes?

No. It estimates pre-tax dividend yield and income only.
