The Dividend Yield Calculator helps income-focused investors evaluate the annual dividend return as a percentage of the stock price. Dividend yield is calculated by dividing annual dividends per share by the current market price. It's a key metric for income investors, retirees, and those seeking passive income from their investments. This calculator can determine dividend yield, fair price for target yield, or required dividend for a target yield.
