Dividend Yield Calculator

India large-caps: 1–3% typical. Utilities and REITs: 4–8%. Above 10% often signals distress — the price dropped faster than the dividend cut.

Not always. Sustainability matters more — check payout ratio (<60% ideal), cash flow, and dividend growth history.

Two reasons: (1) dividend change (rare) or (2) price change (common). A falling price raises yield without any dividend action.

Yield on cost uses your purchase price. If dividends grow 7%/year, a stock bought 10 years ago can now yield 12%+ on your original cost.
