How to use it
Dividend yield = annual dividend per share ÷ share price × 100. A $3.20 yearly dividend on an $80 share is a 4% yield; 100 shares would pay $320 a year.
Dividends can be cut or stopped and the share price changes, so yield is a snapshot, not a promise. These are estimates from the numbers you type, not financial advice or an offer; real products add fees and change rates.
