Interpretation:
If for #MOwned# months you have held #SPurchased# shares whose current price is #SPrice# and quarterly dividend is #QDividend# per share, you will have a dividend yield of #DividendYield#. After tax, your dividend yield is #DividendYieldT#.What does this means to you? The dividend yield is essentially the the equivalent of the current yield for stocks. It indicates the return you have receive from dividends, either before or after tax, from holding a number of shares. If to the dividend yield you were to add the capital gain you have received from holding shares over the span of #MOwned# months, your result would be the total return of your investment.
