How to use it
Enter the Share price, the Dividend per share in a year (add all dividends paid in the last 12 months: final, interim and special) and the Shares you own. The answer appears as you type; there is no Calculate button. Pick your Currency at the top if asked, then tap Copy result or Share on WhatsApp.
What yield means
Yield = yearly dividend ÷ share price. A ₹500 share paying ₹15 a year yields 3%. If the price falls, the yield rises, even though the company pays the same.
The high-yield trap
- A very high yield (say 8–10%+) often means the price has fallen because the market expects trouble, and the dividend may be cut.
- One-time special dividends make the yield look high for one year only.
- Look for companies that paid steady or rising dividends for many years, from growing profits.
Tax and timing
- In India, dividends are taxed at your slab rate, and companies deduct TDS above a yearly limit.
- To get a dividend you must hold the share before the record date (in practice, buy before the ex-dividend date). The price usually drops by about the dividend amount on that day.
This is an estimate to help you plan, not financial or tax advice. For big decisions, check the latest rules and talk to a qualified adviser.
Errors and how to fix them
- “Enter the share price (more than 0)”: the price box is empty or 0.
- The yield looks very high: check the dividend is per share and for a full year, not a total payout or one special dividend.
