Note
This is not investment advice. It is a simplified model: it applies the displayed standard formula to the figures you entered, ignores taxes, fees, currency effects and credit risk, and assumes cash flows arrive exactly as scheduled. Real markets do not behave that way, and past or projected returns do not guarantee future results. Check the assumptions and consult a licensed adviser before acting on any figure.

How is dividend yield calculated?+
Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by the current share price, expressed as a percentage. It shows the cash return an investor receives from dividends relative to what they'd pay for the stock today.
Why does dividend yield rise when a stock price falls?+
Since yield is dividend divided by price, a falling share price mechanically increases the yield even if the dividend payment itself hasn't changed. A very high yield can be a warning sign that the market expects a dividend cut, not necessarily a bargain.
Does dividend yield include special or one-time dividends?+
This depends on how you calculate it — using only the regular recurring dividend gives a more sustainable yield figure, while including special one-time dividends can inflate the yield in a way that won't repeat next year. Check which figure you're using before comparing yields across companies.
What's the difference between trailing and forward dividend yield?+
Trailing yield uses dividends actually paid over the past 12 months, while forward yield uses the company's most recently announced or projected annualized dividend rate, which can differ if the payout was recently changed.
Is a high dividend yield always a good sign for investors?+
Not necessarily — an unusually high yield relative to peers can signal the market expects the dividend to be cut, or that the stock price has fallen due to underlying business problems. Consider the payout ratio and business fundamentals alongside yield, and this is not investment advice.
