Type of calculation: Finding what percentage the annual
dividend is of the share price (a part-to-whole percentage).
How to use the calculator: Use the
Part-to-Whole Percentage Calculator (“What percentage of B is C?”). Enter the share price $
80 [B] and
the annual dividend $
3.20 [C]. It will calculate the dividend
yield directly.
The formula:
Dividend yield = (Annual dividend / Share price) × 100
Dividend yield = ($
3.20 / $
80) × 100 =
0.04 × 100
= 4%
