Variants include dividend yield for shares, rental yield for property and yield to maturity for bonds. A Rs 20 lakh flat earning Rs 1.2 lakh rent a year has a gross rental yield of 6%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key takeaways:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Core formula: Yield = (Income \/ Price) x 100.<\/li>\n<li>Dividend yield = dividend per share \/ share price.<\/li>\n<li>Gross rental yield = annual rent \/ property value; net yield subtracts costs.<\/li>\n<li>YTM needs iteration, but an approximation formula works for quick checks.<\/li>\n<li>Always state whether a yield is gross or net of tax and costs.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Every yield figure you see in India, from a newspaper line on the 10-year G-Sec to a property portal listing, comes from one idea: income divided by price. The formula looks simple, yet small changes in what you count as income or price give very different answers. This article lays out each version of the yield formula with rupee examples, so you know exactly what number you are looking at. You can check any of them with our <a href=\"\/calculators\/yield-calculator\/\">yield calculator<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Key takeaway:<\/strong> A yield figure is only as meaningful as its definition. Ask what is counted as income and what is counted as price.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>The General Yield Formula<\/h2>\n<p><code>Yield (%) = (Annual income from the asset \/ Price of the asset) x 100<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Income is money the asset pays you without you selling it. Price is the amount you pay, or the amount it is worth now. Capital gains from selling are not part of basic yield, which is why a stock with a 1% dividend yield can still be a strong performer.<\/p>\n<h2>Formula 1: Current Yield (Bonds)<\/h2>\n<p><code>Current yield = Annual coupon \/ Market price x 100<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Example: A bond with face value Rs 1,000 and a 9% coupon pays Rs 90 a year. If it trades at Rs 1,050, current yield = 90 \/ 1,050 x 100 = 8.57%. If it trades at Rs 950, yield = 90 \/ 950 x 100 = 9.47%. Notice the pattern: the cheaper the bond, the higher the yield.<\/p>\n<h2>Formula 2: Dividend Yield (Shares)<\/h2>\n<p><code>Dividend yield = Dividend per share \/ Price per share x 100<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Example: A company pays Rs 12 per share in a year and the share trades at Rs 600. Dividend yield = 12 \/ 600 x 100 = 2%. Indian companies usually announce interim and final dividends, so add every payment in the last twelve months.<\/p>\n<h2>Formula 3: Gross and Net Rental Yield (Property)<\/h2>\n<p><code>Gross rental yield = Annual rent \/ Property value x 100<\/code><\/p>\n<p><code>Net rental yield = (Annual rent - annual costs) \/ Property value x 100<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Example: A flat in a metro city costs Rs 80 lakh and rents for Rs 25,000 a month, which is Rs 3 lakh a year. Gross yield = 3,00,000 \/ 80,00,000 x 100 = 3.75%. If property tax, maintenance and repairs cost Rs 40,000, net yield = 2,60,000 \/ 80,00,000 x 100 = 3.25%. Many Indian metros show rental yields of only 2% to 4%, which is lower than a bank FD, so investors depend on price growth.<\/p>\n<h2>Formula 4: Yield to Maturity (YTM)<\/h2>\n<p>The exact YTM is the rate r that makes the present value of all future payments equal to today&#8217;s price. It has no neat closed form, so calculators solve it by repeated trials. A useful approximation is:<\/p>\n<p><code>YTM approx = (C + (F - P) \/ n) \/ ((F + P) \/ 2)<\/code><\/p>\n<p>Here C is the annual coupon, F is face value, P is price and n is years to maturity.<\/p>\n<p>Example: Face value Rs 1,000, coupon Rs 80, price Rs 960, 4 years left. Numerator = 80 + (1,000 &#8211; 960) \/ 4 = 90. Denominator = (1,000 + 960) \/ 2 = 980. YTM approx = 90 \/ 980 = 9.18%.<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Type<\/th>\n<th>Formula<\/th>\n<th>Typical use<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Current yield<\/td>\n<td>Coupon \/ Price<\/td>\n<td>Quick bond screening<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Dividend yield<\/td>\n<td>DPS \/ Share price<\/td>\n<td>Income stocks<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rental yield<\/td>\n<td>Rent \/ Value<\/td>\n<td>Real estate<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>YTM<\/td>\n<td>Solve for r<\/td>\n<td>Hold-to-maturity bonds<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Effective yield<\/td>\n<td>(1 + r\/m)^m &#8211; 1<\/td>\n<td>FDs with compounding<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>Formula 5: Effective Annual Yield for FDs<\/h2>\n<p>Indian banks usually compound FD interest quarterly. The effective yield is:<\/p>\n<p><code>Effective yield = (1 + r \/ m)^m - 1<\/code><\/p>\n<p>where r is the annual rate and m is the number of compounding periods. At 7.2% compounded quarterly, effective yield = (1 + 0.072 \/ 4)^4 &#8211; 1 = 7.40%. That extra 0.20% on Rs 10 lakh is Rs 2,000 a year.<\/p>\n<h2>Putting the Formulas to Work: A Comparison<\/h2>\n<p>Rohit has Rs 10 lakh and four options. A bank FD at 7.2% gives an effective 7.40% before tax. A bond at Rs 950 with a Rs 90 coupon gives 9.47% current yield. A dividend stock gives 2% plus growth. A flat gives 3.25% net plus growth. Comparing only the headline numbers would be misleading because the risks differ, but the formulas put every option on one scale.<\/p>\n<h2>Step-by-Step Walkthrough: Choosing the Right Formula<\/h2>\n<p>Many readers get stuck not on the maths but on picking the right version. Use this short routine. First, identify what the asset pays: interest, dividend or rent. Second, decide whether you will hold it to the end (bonds) or indefinitely (shares, property). Third, pick the formula in the table above that matches. Fourth, collect twelve months of income and the latest price. Fifth, compute, then subtract tax and costs to get a net figure.<\/p>\n<h3>Worked Example 4: Net Yield on a Tax-Free Bond<\/h3>\n<p>Kavita, in the 30% slab, compares a taxable bond yielding 8.5% with a tax-free bond yielding 5.6%. The taxable bond&#8217;s after-tax yield is 8.5% x (1 &#8211; 0.312) = about 5.85% once the 4% cess is included in the effective rate of 31.2%. The tax-free bond keeps its full 5.6%. The two are close, and the taxable bond only wins by a small margin, so credit quality and liquidity may decide the choice.<\/p>\n<h3>Worked Example 5: Yield on Cost for a Long-Term Shareholder<\/h3>\n<p>Vikram bought shares at Rs 300 ten years ago. Today the company pays Rs 15 per share, while the market price is Rs 1,500. Dividend yield on today&#8217;s price is 15 \/ 1,500 = 1%. Yield on his original cost is 15 \/ 300 = 5%. Both numbers are correct; they answer different questions. The first tells him what a new buyer earns. The second tells him how his own investment has matured.<\/p>\n<p>When reading brokerage reports, check which of the two is quoted. A report that highlights a 5% yield on cost for an old holding does not mean a new investor will get 5%.<\/p>\n<h2>Why the Formula Matters for Indian Investors<\/h2>\n<p>RBI and SEBI both stress disclosure so that investors can compare products. A clear understanding of the formula lets you spot gaps in an advertisement. If a scheme advertises &#8220;up to 12% returns&#8221;, ask whether that is yield, XIRR or a projected figure. The formula also helps you read the 10-year G-Sec yield in news reports: when it moves from 7.0% to 7.2%, prices of existing bonds fall so that new buyers earn the higher yield.<\/p>\n<h2>Benefits of Knowing the Formulas<\/h2>\n<p>You become less dependent on sales talk. You can check a broker&#8217;s quote in under a minute. You can also stress-test: ask what happens to yield if the price drops 10%. For a 9% coupon bond at Rs 1,000, a drop to Rs 900 lifts current yield to 10%. That kind of mental maths is what helps you buy during corrections rather than panic.<\/p>\n<h2>Limitations of Yield Formulas<\/h2>\n<p>None of these formulas tells you about default risk, inflation or liquidity. The YTM approximation becomes less accurate with long maturities or large discounts. Rental yield ignores vacancy periods and stamp duty. Dividend yield ignores buybacks. Treat the result as a screening number and follow up with deeper checks.<\/p>\n<h2>Common Mistakes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Using the purchase price for a stock you bought years ago.<\/strong> Yield on cost is a different measure from current dividend yield.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Forgetting maintenance, tax and vacancy in property.<\/strong> Net yield is what lands in your pocket.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Applying the YTM approximation to very long bonds.<\/strong> Use a calculator for precision.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ignoring compounding frequency.<\/strong> A monthly versus annual payout changes the effective yield.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Comparing pre-tax yields across tax-free and taxable products.<\/strong> Convert to a common basis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Best Practices<\/h2>\n<ol>\n<li>Write down the formula you are using before you start.<\/li>\n<li>Use twelve months of trailing income, not a forecast, for a fair comparison.<\/li>\n<li>Calculate both gross and net yield for property and bonds.<\/li>\n<li>Compare against the current G-Sec yield as your risk-free anchor.<\/li>\n<li>Cross-check manual results with the free tool on this site.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>For growth-based measures, see our <a href=\"\/blog\/cagr-formula-explained-with-examples\/\">CAGR formula guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>The yield formula is one idea wearing different clothes. Whether you look at a bond, a share, a flat or an FD, you divide income by price and then adjust for costs, tax and compounding. Learn the five versions above and you will read financial news, broker notes and product brochures with more confidence.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sources:<\/strong> RBI (rbi.org.in) on G-Secs, Kotak Securities and Upstox learning centres, ClearTax on interest taxation.<\/p>\n<div data-dtk-related=\"1\" style=\"background:#f8f9fb;border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:6px;padding:16px 20px;margin:28px 0;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;\"><strong>Related tools &amp; guides on DigiToolkit<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul style=\"margin:0;padding-left:20px;\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/digitoolkit.in\/calculators\/yield-calculator\/\">Try the free Yield Calculator &rarr;<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/digitoolkit.in\/blog\/how-to-calculate-yield-india-step-by-step\/\">How to Calculate Yield on Bonds, FDs and Stocks in India (Step by Step)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/digitoolkit.in\/blog\/what-is-yield-simple-guide-india\/\">What Is Yield?
