About this calculator
Dividend yield is quoted everywhere in stock screeners and financial news, but the number is easy to misread if you're not clear it's calculated against the current share price, not the price you originally paid, so the yield you see today can look very different from your own effective yield-on-cost. This calculator computes both the standard yield, Dividend yield = Annual dividend per share ÷ Share price × 100, and the total annual dividend income you'd actually receive based on how many shares you own. That distinction matters for two reasons: comparing yields across stocks requires using each one's current price, while judging your own income from a holding you bought years ago requires your original purchase price instead, and this calculator lets you separate the two by simply entering the price you want the yield measured against.
Worked example
₹20 dividend, ₹500 share price
Result: 4% yield, ₹2,000/year
