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.

“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.

InvestedA year at today's priceIf you had bought 10 years ago
₹1.00L₹1,660₹6,870
₹5.00L₹8,300₹34,350

₹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.
