What is a good dividend yield?
Generally: 2-4% is average, 4-6% is good, 6-10% is high (but check if sustainable). Very high yields (10%+) can be risky — company might be in trouble. Balance yield with growth potential.
What is DRIP?
Dividend Reinvestment Plan. Instead of taking dividends as cash, you automatically buy more shares. This compounds your wealth dramatically — a 5% yield with DRIP can give 8-10% total returns over time.
Dividend yield vs total return?
Dividend yield is only dividend income. Total return includes dividend + stock price appreciation. A 4% dividend stock growing 8% annually gives 12% total return.
Are dividends taxed?
India: Dividend income is taxable at your slab rate. Up to ₹5,000/year dividend from Indian companies is exempt. US: Qualified dividends taxed at 0-20% (lower than ordinary income). UK: £500-1,000 dividend allowance, then 8.75%-39.35%.
Best dividend stocks for passive income?
Look for: (1) Consistent dividend history (10+ years), (2) Low payout ratio (under 60% of earnings), (3) Growing dividends yearly, (4) Strong fundamentals. Examples: ITC, Coal India (India), Coca-Cola, J&J (US).
