What passive cash flow does your stock portfolio generate?
At a current share price of ₹500 and an annual dividend of ₹25/share, the Dividend Yield is 5%. Holding 200 shares (worth ₹1,00,000) produces ₹5,000 in annual passive cash income (₹417/month).
- Dividend Yield: 5% p.a. (Annual dividend payout divided by current share price).
- Annual Passive Cash Flow: ₹5,000 per year.
- Taxation: Under Indian income tax laws, dividend income is taxed at your regular marginal slab rate. TDS of 10% is deducted by companies if annual dividend from a company exceeds ₹5,000.
How This Calculator Works

Worked Step-by-Step Example
You own 200 shares of a high-yield PSU or IT company (such as ITC, Coal India, or TCS) trading at ₹500, which pays ₹25 in total annual dividends per share.
Key takeaway: You receive a 5% cash yield directly in your bank account, on top of any long-term stock price appreciation.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
⚠ Chasing high dividend yield traps
A sky-high dividend yield (>10%) often happens when a stock price has crashed due to fundamental business decline. Always check dividend sustainability and cash flow.
⚠ Ignoring dividend reinvestment (DRIP)
Reinvesting dividends into more shares or mutual funds significantly accelerates long-term compounding compared to spending dividend cash.
