The yield, the income after tax, and the shares a target income needs

Dividend yield before and after tax, the income from your holding, yield on cost, how many shares a target monthly income takes, and a table of yield at other prices, with a Russian LLC owner mode and Russian tax rates built in.

The dividend yield is the annual dividend divided by the share price. The calculator works it out, the income your shares pay before and after tax, and the yield on the price you actually paid.

It also answers the reverse question: how many shares you need for a set monthly income at today's dividend. Tax is entered as your own rate; Russian income tax rates and a mode for owners of a Russian LLC are included as options.

How to use

Enter the share price, the dividend per share for the year and the number of shares.
Enter your tax rate on dividends, or choose the Russian rates.
In the extra settings add the price you paid and a target income per month.
Read the yield, the income after tax, the Working lines and the table of yield at other prices.

How to calculate dividend yield

Dividend yield = annual dividend per share ÷ share price × 100. A share at 48.00 paying 1.92 a year yields 4%. If the company pays several times a year, add the payments up.

200 shares pay 384.00 a year before tax. At a 15% tax rate, 326.40 is left, a 3.4% yield after tax. Because the price is the divisor, the same dividend means a higher yield when the price falls and a lower one when it rises.

A dividend of 1.92 a share for the year. Worked out with this calculator.
Share price	Yield	After 15% tax
38.40 (−20%)	5%	4.25%
43.20 (−10%)	4.44%	3.78%
48.00	4%	3.4%
52.80 (+10%)	3.64%	3.09%
57.60 (+20%)	3.33%	2.83%

Yield on cost

Yield on cost divides the dividend by the price you paid rather than today's price. Bought at 36.00, a 1.92 dividend is a 5.33% yield on your cost, while a buyer paying 48.00 today gets 4%.

How many shares a monthly income takes

Divide the yearly income you want by the dividend per share after tax. For 500 a month, or 6,000 a year, at 1.92 a share and 15% tax you need 6,000 ÷ 1.632 = 3,677 shares, which cost 176,496.00 at 48.00. This assumes the dividend stays the same.

Russian dividend tax and LLC owners

The Russian option applies personal income tax at 13% on this kind of income up to 2.4 million roubles a year and 15% on the part above; dividends have that threshold to themselves, apart from securities gains and deposit interest. The LLC mode starts from company profit before tax, takes off profit tax at the rate you enter, 25% under the general regime, and then income tax on your share of the dividend: from 1,000,000 of profit, 652,500 reaches the owner.

What this calculator shows

The dividend yield before and after tax
The income from your holding, the tax and the average per month
Yield on cost and the shares needed for a target income
Yield at other share prices
Dividends to a Russian LLC owner from pre-tax profit

What to keep in mind

The dividend is entered as the total for the year; the calculator does not forecast payments.
Tax is a flat rate on this payment; the Russian option counts only this payment towards the 2.4 million rouble threshold.
The LLC mode applies profit tax to the whole profit at the rate entered.

Where the numbers come from

FAQs

How do I calculate dividend yield?

Annual dividend per share ÷ share price × 100. A 1.92 dividend on a 48.00 share is 4%; after 15% tax it is 3.4%.

How do I work out dividend income after tax?

Multiply the dividend by your shares and take off the tax: 1.92 × 200 = 384.00, 15% tax is 57.60, so 326.40 is left.

How many shares do I need for 500 a month in dividends?

Divide 6,000 a year by the dividend per share after tax: at 1.92 and 15% tax that is 3,677 shares, 176,496.00 at 48.00. Enter the target in the extra settings.

What is yield on cost?

The dividend divided by the price you paid. Bought at 36.00, a 1.92 dividend is 5.33%, even though the yield at today's 48.00 is 4%.

Why does dividend yield go up when the price falls?

The price is the divisor: the same 1.92 dividend is a 5% yield at 38.40 and 3.33% at 57.60, while the payment itself is unchanged.

How are dividends taxed in Russia?

At 13% while the year's dividends stay within 2.4 million roubles, and 15% on the part above. Dividends have a threshold of their own: securities gains and deposit interest are counted separately (Articles 214(3) and 225(1.1) of the Tax Code). Choose the Russian option to apply it.

Worked example

200 shares at 48.00

Input: Price 48.00, dividend 1.92 a share, 200 shares, 15% tax

Output: A 4% yield, 3.4% after tax; 326.40 a year after tax

Note: Bought at 36.00, the same dividend is a 5.33% yield on cost.
