Hi

Does anyone know the formula for calculating dividend payout from the purchase of fractional shares?.
Iā€™ve had a look around online but having trouble finding any kind of formula and i donā€™t trust online calculators.

Many thanks.

Multiply by the fraction of the share you have. You receive dividends proportional to the amount of stock you own

Dividend per share * shares owned

Fractional shares arenā€™t any different than whole shares. The calculation is still the same and the only difference is you have some decimal places to type in.

Really? Dividend * shares. Rivorson said the exact same thing. Thereā€™s nothing else to it itā€™s just a fraction of a share

Iā€™m pretty sure you donā€™t know what that equation means.

E = total dividend payment
M= number of shares owned
C = square root of dividend per share

Ps you asked for a formula to calculate dividends not a worked example.

In the repeated vein of discussing the Energy of subatomic particles:

E=hf

Where E is the Dividend payment
h = dividend per share
f = fraction of shares owned

Worked example:
Jonny2207 owns 1 share in DividendsRUs and they announce a dividend of Ā£1 per share ā€¦

Ā£1 per share x 1 share = Ā£1 dividend payment.

Hope that helps!
