How to say "dividend" in Japanese

• 被除数ひじょすう
  nounThe arithmetic term: the number that is to be divided by another in a division calculation. Nothing to do with shares or payouts — outside mathematics it is seldom the word you want.
• 分配金ぶんぱいきん
  nounA dividend on shares: money distributed to shareholders. For an ordinary company dividend, 配当 is the common word; 分配金 is often heard for distributions from funds as well.
• 配当金はいとうきん
  nounThe cash dividend paid to shareholders — 'dividend' in the financial sense. A natural choice when talking about payouts on shares, though the shorter 配当 is the common word.
• 利益配当りえきはいとう
  no-adjectiveA dividend understood as a company's profits shared out among shareholders; it can also mean a share of profits generally. Typical of corporate, legal and accounting contexts rather than everyday investing talk.
• 配当はいとうCommon
  noun, suru verb, transitive verbThe common, general word for a dividend, especially on shares. For most financial uses this is the default choice; 配当金 is the fuller form for the cash payout itself.
