How it is calculated
dividend yield = dividend per share ÷ share priceFor a trailing yield, use the dividends declared for the last financial year (interim and final) against today's price. A yield on a forecast dividend is only as good as the forecast.
A dividend yield is not a total return: it leaves out the change in the share price, and a high yield can follow a falling price.
