What is dividend yield?

Dividend yield tells you how much income a stock pays relative to its price. A £10 share paying 50p a year has a 5% yield — you earn 5p of income for every £1 invested.

The FTSE 100 average yield is typically 3–4%. Yields above 6% can signal either a generous payer or a falling share price — always investigate why.
