Annual dividend income is the simplest of dividend math: your share count times the annual dividend per share. The quarterly figure assumes the common four-times-a-year schedule, and the monthly figure is the annual amount averaged across twelve months. Dividend yield divides the annual dividend by today's price; yield on cost divides it by what you originally paid, which is why a stock held for years can yield far more on your cost than on its current price. Enter a cost per share to see it.
This is a single-period snapshot. It does not project dividend growth or the compounding effect of reinvesting each payment into more shares, both of which lift income over time.
Frequently asked questions
How is dividend income calculated?
Annual dividend income is your number of shares multiplied by the annual dividend per share. A $2.00 annual dividend on 100 shares pays $200 a year, usually split into four quarterly payments of $50.
What is dividend yield?
Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by the current share price, shown as a percent. A $2.00 dividend on a $50 stock is a 4% yield.
What is yield on cost?
Yield on cost is the annual dividend divided by the price you originally paid rather than today's price. A stock bought at $25 that now pays a $2.00 dividend has an 8% yield on cost, even if its current-price yield is lower.
Does this calculator include dividend reinvestment?
No. It shows the cash a given position pays at today's inputs. Reinvesting those dividends to buy more shares compounds the income over time, which this single-period calculator does not project.
