Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula?
Dividend Yield = (Annual Dividend per Share ÷ Share Price) × 100.
Is a higher dividend yield always better?
Not necessarily — a very high yield can sometimes signal a falling share price or an unsustainable dividend, so it's worth checking the company's payout ratio and financial health too.
