随着最近围绕微软的热议，一些投资者可能也在关注该公司的股息的潜在收益。截至目前，微软提供的年股息收益率为0.76％，即每股83美分（每年3.32美元）的季度股息。
So, how can investors exploit its dividend yield to pocket a regular $500 monthly?
那么，投资者如何利用其股息收益率每月固定存入500美元？
To earn $500 per month or $6,000 annually from dividends alone, you would need an investment of approximately $789,713 or around 1,807 shares. For a more modest $100 per month or $1,200 per year, you would need $157,768 or around 361 shares.
要仅从股息中每月赚取500美元或每年6,000美元，您就需要投资约789,713美元或约1,807股股票。要想获得更温和的每月100美元或每年1200美元，则需要157,768美元或约361股股票。
To calculate: Divide the desired annual income ($6,000 or $1,200) by the dividend ($3.32 in this case). So, $6,000 / $3.32 = 1,807 ($500 per month), and $1,200 / $3.32 = 361 shares ($100 per month).
计算方法：将所需的年收入（6,000美元或1200美元）除以股息（在本例中为3.32美元）。因此，6,000美元/3.32美元= 1,807美元（每月500美元），1200美元/3.32美元 = 361股（每月100美元）。
Note that dividend yield can change on a rolling basis, as the dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
请注意，股息收益率可能会连续变化，因为股息支付和股价都会随着时间的推移而波动。
How that works: The dividend yield is computed by dividing the annual dividend payment by the stock's current price.
运作方式：股息收益率的计算方法是将年度股息支付除以股票的当前价格。
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and is currently priced at $50, the dividend yield would be 4% ($2/$50). However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield drops to 3.33% ($2/$60). Conversely, if the stock price falls to $40, the dividend yield rises to 5% ($2/$40).
例如，如果股票的年度股息为2美元，目前定价为50美元，则股息收益率将为4％（2美元/50美元）。但是，如果股价升至60美元，股息收益率将降至3.33％（2美元/60美元）。相反，如果股价跌至40美元，股息收益率将升至5％（2美元/40美元）。
Similarly, changes in the dividend payment can impact the yield. If a company increases its dividend, the yield will also increase, provided the stock price stays the same. Conversely, if the dividend payment decreases, so will the yield.
同样，股息支付的变化可能会影响收益率。如果公司增加股息，收益率也将增加，前提是股价保持不变。相反，如果股息支付减少，收益率也会降低。
