Enter the annual cash received ($) and the total cash invested ($) into the Equity Dividend Rate Calculator. The calculator will evaluate the Equity Dividend Rate. 

Equity Dividend Rate Formula

The following two example problems outline the steps and information needed to calculate the Equity Dividend Rate.

EDR = AC / CI * 100
  • Where EDR is the Equity Dividend Rate (%)
  • AC is the annual cash received ($) 
  • CI is the total cash invested ($) 

To calculate the equity dividend rate, divide the annual cash received by the total cash invested, then multiply by 100.

How to Calculate Equity Dividend Rate?

The following example problems outline how to calculate Equity Dividend Rate.

Example Problem #1:

  1. First, determine the annual cash received ($).
    • The annual cash received ($) is given as: 3,000.
  2. Next, determine the total cash invested ($).
    • The total cash invested ($) is provided as: 6,000.
  3. Finally, calculate the Equity Dividend Rate using the equation above: 

EDR = AC / CI * 100

The values provided above are inserted into the equation below and computed.

EDR = 3,000 / 6,000 * 100 = 50.00 (%)


Example Problem #2: 

For this problem, the variables required are provided below:

annual cash received ($) = 4,000

total cash invested ($) = 200,000

Test your knowledge using the equation and check your answer with the calculator..

EDR = AC / CI * 100 = ?
