Examples

100 shares of $50 stock at 4% yield

= $200/yr · $50/qtr

$10,000 invested at $40/share, $1.60 div

= 250 shares · $400/yr

$25,000 in a 5% monthly REIT

= $1,250/yr · $104/mo

How it works

We figure out your share count, then multiply by the dividend per share to get annual income. Periodic income divides annual income by the number of payments per year.

Annual income · shares × dividend per share

Yield · dividend per share ÷ share price × 100

Disclaimer. This is an estimate, not financial advice. Dividends are not guaranteed — they can be cut, suspended, or eliminated by the issuer at any time. Past payouts do not predict future ones. Consider your tax situation before relying on these figures.

Frequently asked questions

Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by the share price, expressed as a percent. A $50 stock paying $2 per year in dividends has a 4% yield. Yield rises when the share price drops and falls when the share price rises, even if the dividend itself doesn't change.

Most U.S. companies pay quarterly. A growing minority pay monthly (especially REITs and some ETFs). Some pay semi-annually or annually, particularly outside the U.S. Pick the frequency that matches the stock you're modeling.

No. Companies can cut, suspend, or eliminate their dividend at any time, and they often do during downturns. The number this calculator gives you is an estimate based on the dividend you enter today — not a forecast.

No. Dividends are typically taxable as either ordinary income or qualified dividends, with rates that depend on your tax bracket and country. Subtract your effective tax rate from these estimates to get an after-tax view.
