- 1). Determine the first dividend payment made by the corporation during the calendar year. For example, assume a company paid $2 per share in March.
- 2). Determine the subsequent dividend payments made by the corporation during the calendar year. For example, assume the company paid $3 per share in June, $3 per share in September and $4 per share in December.
- 3). Add the individual dividend payments. Continuing with the same example, $2 plus $3 plus $3 plus $4 equals $12. This figure represents the total year-to-date dividend per share.
- 4). Multiply the year-to-date dividend per share by the number of shares you own to determine your year-to-date dividend. For example, assume you own 1,000 shares: 1,000 times $12 equals $12,000. This figure represents your YTD dividend.
