About REIT Dividend Yield Calculator

A real estate investment trust must distribute most of its rental income, so the distribution yield is the main component of return. Because distributions vary with occupancy and rate resets, the yield is an estimate rather than a promise.

Formula

Distribution yield

Yield = annual distribution per unit / unit price × 100

Worked example

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a REIT distribution the same as a dividend?

Similar in effect, but the components — rent, interest and capital return — can be taxed differently in the holder's hands.

Why do REIT prices fall when rates rise?

Their income is bond-like, so higher yields elsewhere make the same distribution less attractive.
