Frequently asked questions

What is dividend yield?

The yearly dividend per share divided by the share price. A share at 50 paying 2 a year yields 4%.

Is a higher yield always better?

No. A yield can be high because the share price has fallen, and a company that cannot afford its dividend may cut it.

Is the income before or after tax?

Before tax. Tax on dividends depends on your country and the kind of account, so it is not taken off here.
