Dividend yield calculator
Divide yearly dividends per share by a share price you enter, or load dividends per share for a covered company straight from its 10-K.
An illustration, not a forecast. This calculator divides last year's dividends per share by a price you enter. Dividends can change or stop at any time, and the result doesn't say whether any price is high, low or fair.
The formula
Dividend yield = yearly dividends per share ÷ share price × 100
Dividends on your shares = dividends per share × number of shares
Where the dividend comes from
Each preset is the company's dividends per share for its last fiscal year, from its 10-K, and links to that filing. Coca-Cola's for fiscal 2025 were $2.04: at a price you type, the yield is that amount divided by the price.

Common questions
How do you calculate dividend yield?
Divide the yearly dividends per share by the share price and multiply by 100. With Coca-Cola's fiscal 2025 dividends of $2.04 per share, the yield is $2.04 divided by the price you enter, times 100. Source: Coca-Cola 10-K for fiscal 2025.
Which dividend figure does the calculator load?
Dividends per share for the company's last fiscal year, as reported in its 10-K. That's what was declared (or paid) over the past year, which can differ from the current quarterly rate times four if the company has raised or cut its dividend since.
Why does the yield change every day?
Because the share price does. The dividend per share stays put between announcements, so a higher price means a lower yield and a lower price a higher one.
Why can a dividend yield be high?
A yield rises when the share price falls or the dividend goes up. A high yield often follows a falling price, and a dividend can be cut later. The calculator only describes past dividends against a price you choose.
How much would I get in dividends on my shares?
Multiply the dividends per share by the number of shares you hold. Enter a share count in the calculator to see it. The result is based on last year's dividends and isn't a forecast.
