Dividend Yield Calculator shows the income a stock pays relative to its price, annual dividend per share divided by share price, as a percentage, the standard metric for comparing income stocks.

Because the share price sits in the denominator, yield moves inversely with price: it rises when the price falls and drops when the price climbs, even if the dividend itself is unchanged. Understanding that relationship is essential to reading yield correctly.

It also explains the most important pitfall, the yield trap. An unusually high yield frequently reflects a sinking share price or a dividend the market expects to be cut, not a bargain. So a high number warrants investigation, not automatic enthusiasm. Equally, a modest yield that grows steadily can out-earn a high static one over time, which is why income investors weigh yield and dividend growth together.

Use a reliable regular or forward dividend (special one-off payouts distort trailing yield). Everything runs in your browser, keeping figures private; it's informational, not financial advice. Pair it with the PE Ratio and other ToolsMonk stock calculators.
