How is dividend yield calculated?
Dividend yield tells you the annual percentage return you receive in dividends relative to the share price.
Dividend yield = (dividend per share / share price) × 100
For example, if a share costs €20 and the dividend is €0.50, the dividend yield is 2.5%. Dividend yield is a useful comparison figure between companies, but it does not tell the whole story — the sustainability of the dividend and the company's financial health are also decisive.
Finnish dividend tax calculation
Of dividends received from a Finnish listed company, 85% is taxable capital income and 15% is tax-free. Capital gains tax is paid on the taxable portion as follows:
- 30% on capital income up to €30,000
- 34% on the portion exceeding €30,000
The calculator applies these rules automatically. Note that the €30,000 threshold applies to all your capital income combined — not just dividends. For precise tax calculations, consult the tax authority guidelines or a tax advisor.
Tips for dividend investors
- Check the payout ratio — a very high ratio may indicate the dividend is not sustainable.
- Track dividend history — a long record of steady or growing dividends is a good sign of stability.
- Diversify across sectors — don't build a portfolio from a single industry's dividend stocks.
- Reinvest dividends — the compound effect significantly increases returns over the long term.
