DSE Dividend & Yield Calculator

Investing for Dividend Income in Bangladesh

Dividend investing is a popular strategy in the Bangladesh capital market, especially with high-yielding stocks in the banking, telecommunications, and energy sectors. However, the amount you see in the corporate declaration is rarely what hits your bank account.

Tax on Dividends (AIT)

The National Board of Revenue (NBR) requires companies to deduct tax at source (AIT) before distributing dividends. The rate depends on your status:

• 10% Tax: Applicable for individual residents who have a valid 12-digit TIN (Taxpayer Identification Number).
• 15% Tax: Applicable for individual residents who do not have a TIN or fail to provide it to their broker/company.
• 20% Tax: Applicable for institutional investors (Companies).

Calculating Dividend Yield

Dividend Yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends each year relative to its stock price. It is calculated as:
Yield = (Dividend Per Share / Current Market Price) × 100

Our calculator goes a step further by calculating the Net Yield, which is the actual return you get after the government takes its share of taxes.
