Dividend Yield & Payout Ratio Calculator
MathCompute a stock's dividend yield from its annual dividend and share price, plus payout and retention ratio when trailing EPS is given
Enter a stock's annual dividend per share and current share price to get its dividend yield, the percentage return a shareholder gets from dividends alone. Add trailing EPS per share and it also computes the payout ratio, the fraction of earnings paid out as dividends, and the retention ratio, the fraction kept by the company. A payout ratio over 100% is reported as-is rather than flagged as an error, since a company can and sometimes does pay out more than it earned in a given period. This is pure arithmetic over the numbers you enter, there is no live quote feed or brokerage integration.
