How much money will I receive in dividends?

Answered by Nicholas Hamilton | 3 months ago 1 Answer

The amount of dividends paid is determined by the profitability of the company because dividends are paid out of the revenue generated. The dividend payout ratio (dividend paid divided by net income) helps understand what percentage of the company’s net profits are paid out as dividends.

How often are dividends paid?

Answered by Noah Harvey | 3 months ago 1 Answer

Companies generally pay out dividends every quarter or semi-annually. However, it is best to research each company individually to figure out their dividend disbursement schedule. An easy way to do this is to examine the dividend yield.
