Frequently asked questions
How is dividend yield calculated?
Annual dividend per share divided by the share price, as a percent. A €2 dividend at a €50 price makes a 4% yield.
Is a high yield always good?
No. A very high yield is often a sign of a fallen price or an unsustainable dividend (a “dividend trap”). Look at dividend cover too.
Is this a forecast or investment advice?
No. The result is an educational illustration based on assumptions you set — not a forecast, and not investment advice or a recommendation. You make the decision.
