Price vs Dividends
How much of SBIN's return came from dividends
A share price tells you only half the story for a company that pays. Over the last 20 years State Bank of India's quoted price moved +1092.2%, but a holder who reinvested every dividend ended on +1435.9% — which makes dividends 24% of everything the stock returned.
| Period | Price return | Dividends added | Total return | From dividends |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | +30.5% | +2.4 pts | +32.9% | 7% |
| 3 years | +86.6% | +10.4 pts | +97.0% | 11% |
| 5 years | +145.9% | +22.9 pts | +168.8% | 14% |
| 10 years | +314.9% | +47.0 pts | +361.8% | 13% |
| 15 years | +430.7% | +107.8 pts | +538.6% | 20% |
| 20 years | +1092.2% | +343.8 pts | +1435.9% | 24% |
“Dividends added” is in percentage points of total return, with dividends treated as reinvested at the time they were paid — which is why it compounds and grows faster than the raw cash paid out. “From dividends” is shown only where the total return was positive; against a loss it would be a share of a negative number and would mean nothing.

Grouped by calendar year rather than financial year, because that is how the ex-dates arrive in the data. A year with an unusually large figure often contains a special dividend rather than a raised regular one.
Dividend Income
What SBIN would pay on your holding
Based on the last twelve months of declared dividends. A company can cut or raise its payout at any time, so this is a record of what it recently paid, not an income you can count on.
| Invested | A year at today's price | If you had bought 10 years ago |
|---|---|---|
| ₹1.00L | ₹1,660 | ₹6,870 |
| ₹5.00L | ₹8,300 | ₹34,350 |
| ₹10.00L | ₹16,600 | ₹68,700 |
| ₹25.00L | ₹41,500 | ₹1,71,750 |
| ₹50.00L | ₹83,000 | ₹3,43,500 |
The right-hand column is the same dividend measured against what the shares cost a decade ago — a yield on cost of 6.9% against 1.7% today. It is what a long holder is actually earning, and it is the reason a low headline yield on a growing payer is not the whole story.

SBIN dividends — common questions
Everything you need to know about this page and the data presented.
How much dividend does SBIN pay?+
State Bank of India paid ₹17 per share in dividends over the last twelve months, a yield of 1.66% against the current share price. It has paid in 17 separate calendar years across the history we hold, totalling ₹101 per share.
What is the dividend yield of SBIN?+
SBIN's trailing dividend yield is 1.66% — the last twelve months of declared dividends divided by the current share price. Yield moves inversely with the price, so a falling share price raises the yield without the company paying a rupee more. That is why the payout record below matters more than the headline number.
Has SBIN paid dividends consistently?+
State Bank of India has paid in 5 consecutive years, counting back from the last complete calendar year. A streak is a better guide to a company's intent than a single year's yield, which can be inflated by a one-off special dividend. It is still a record of the past — a payout can be cut at any time, and several long-running Indian payers have done exactly that.
What would SBIN dividends pay on shares bought 10 years ago?+
Today's dividend measured against SBIN's price ten years ago is a yield on cost of 6.9%, against 1.7% for someone buying now. ₹10 lakh invested a decade ago would therefore be paying about ₹68,700 a year at the current payout. That gap is what a growing dividend does over time, and it is invisible in the headline yield.
How much of SBIN's return came from dividends?+
Over the last 20 years SBIN's share price moved +1092.2% while a holder reinvesting dividends earned +1435.9% — so dividends account for about 24% of the total return. Almost every site quotes only the price change, which understates what a dividend payer actually returned.
When did SBIN last pay a dividend?+
The most recent dividend on record went ex on 2026-05-15, at ₹17 per share. In 2026 it has paid 1 time, totalling ₹17 per share. Dates are ex-dividend dates from our price data, not the credit date — the money reaches a shareholder some weeks later.
