How this calculator works
Annual distribution per share = distribution per share × payments per yearCurrent yield = annual distribution ÷ current share priceYield on cost = annual distribution ÷ average purchase price
- Distribution yield is income only — it excludes price changes. Total return = yield + price appreciation (or depreciation)
- A yield far above typical market levels can indicate an unsustainable payout or a recently fallen share price
- All inputs are user-provided; no live market prices are used
