💵 Dividend Yield Calculator

Dividend yield = dividend per share ÷ stock price × 100. A 1,000 annual DPS on a 20,000 stock is a 5% yield. Since yield moves with price, distinguish between yield-on-cost (at your purchase price) and current yield (at today's price).

Want 500,000 in monthly dividends in retirement? That's 6,000,000 annually. At an assumed 4% yield, you'd need 150,000,000 invested. Higher assumed yields lower the required capital, but unusually high yields can signal price weakness or a dividend cut risk.

Korea withholds 15.4% (14% income tax + 1.4% local tax) on dividend income. A 5% gross yield becomes roughly 4.23% after tax. If your combined annual financial income (interest + dividends) exceeds 20 million won, comprehensive taxation may apply — check the Dividend Income Tax Calculator for the exact figure.
