Dividend payout ratio: 38.38% of net profits
Royal Bank of Canada has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 3.25% of its share value annually.
Royal Bank of Canada has paid out, on average, around 38.38% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 2.48% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 2.48% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Royal Bank of Canada's case, that would currently equate to about 6.58 per share.
While Royal Bank of Canada's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.
Royal Bank of Canada's next dividend payout is expected around 23 November 2026. To be eligible for the latest dividend you would need to have been a shareholder at 25 October 2026 (the "ex-dividend date").
Royal Bank of Canada's fiscal year ends in October.

Royal Bank of Canada's shares were split on a 2:1 basis on 6 April 2006. So if you had owned 1 share the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 2 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Royal Bank of Canada shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 50% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for Royal Bank of Canada shares which in turn could have impacted Royal Bank of Canada's share price.
