How can I calculate dividend per share from dividend yield?

If you know the dividend yield and the current market price, you can easily calculate the dividend per share. Here’s how:

1. Understand the Formula:

  • The dividend yield formula is: Dividend Yield = (Annual Dividend per Share / Current Market Price per Share) * 100

2. Rearrange the Formula:

  • To find the Annual Dividend per Share, you need to rearrange the formula: Annual Dividend per Share = (Dividend Yield * Current Market Price per Share) / 100

3. Plug in the Values:

  • Enter the known dividend yield (as a percentage) and the current market price per share into the rearranged formula.

4. Calculate:

  • Perform the calculation to find the Annual Dividend per Share.

For example, if a stock has a dividend yield of 4% and a current market price of ₹200, the calculation would be:

Annual Dividend per Share = (4 * 200) / 100 = ₹8

Therefore, the annual dividend per share is ₹8. By using this method, and by utilising Share India’s Dividend Yield Calculator, you can determine the dividend per share from the known dividend yield.
