Formula and example

How it is calculated

Yield = annual dividend per share / share price × 100

Worked example

A €2 annual dividend on a €50 share price gives a 4% yield; 100 shares produce a gross payout of €200.

Things to check

  • Dividends may change or stop. Taxes, fees and share-price movements are excluded.
  • Use one currency consistently. Examples use euros; the calculation works with any currency.
