Dividend formula
Annual = shares × dividend × payments per year · Yield = annual dividend per share / price × 100
Dividend yield moves with the price: if the share price rises and the dividend doesn't, the yield falls.
Dividend example
With 200 shares and €0.50 per share four times a year, you receive €100 per payment and €400 a year. With the share at €40, the dividend yield is 5%.
