What is Dividend Yield?

Dividend yield is the annual dividend payment divided by the stock price, expressed as a percentage. It shows how much income you earn relative to your investment.

How do I calculate my annual dividend income?

Multiply the number of shares you own by the annual dividend per share. For example, 100 shares paying $2.00 per share annually gives you $200 in annual dividend income.

What is dividend reinvestment (DRIP)?

Dividend reinvestment means automatically using your dividend payments to buy more shares. Over time, this compounds your returns as you earn dividends on an ever-growing number of shares.
